Single crystals of lanthanide iodates have been quickly grown by decomposition of the corresponding periodates under hydrothermal conditions. Single crystal X‐ray diffraction showed that two structure types form with the elements from Pr‐Yb, an anhydrous form for Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er and a dihydrate for Eu, Gd, Dy, Er, Tm, Yb. A detailed structure study is presented for one representative of each of these types, along with structure type and lattice parameters for the other materials. Tb(IO 3 ) 3 : Space group P 2 1 / c , Z = 4, lattice dimensions at 120 K: a = 7.102(1), b = 8.468(1), c = 13.355(2)Å, β = 99.67(1)°; R1 = 0.034. Yb(IO 3 ) 3 · 2H 2 O: Space group P 1¯, Z = 2, lattice dimensions at 120 K: a = 7.013(1), b = 7.370(1), c = 10.458(2)Å, α = 95.250(5), β = 105.096(5), γ = 109.910(10)°; R1 = 0.024.
