THE DEHYDRATION PROPERTIES OF SOME HYDRATED RARE EARTH OXALATES, AND EXCEPTIONAL BEHAVIOUR OF CERIUM(III) OXALATE

OSTI ID:4162179
Lanthanum, cerium(IIIl, samarium, and other rare earth oxalates may be dehydrated at 32O deg C in vacuo without decomposition. In air, cerium(III) oxalate is converted at this temperature into cerium dioxide. None of the other rare earth oxalates behave in this manner. The exceptional behavior of cerium(III) oxalate as well as the similar behavior of plutonium(III) and americium(III) oxalates, are attributed to the susceptibility of these trivalent cations to oxidation to the quadrivalent state.
