Yttrium oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of yttrium and oxalic acid with the chemical formula Y2(C2O4)3.[3] The compound does not dissolve in water and forms crystalline hydrates—colorless crystals.[4]

Synthesis

Precipitation of soluble yttrium salts with oxalic acid:[5]

Properties

Yttrium oxalate is highly insoluble in water and converts to the oxide when heated.[6] Yttrium oxalate forms crystalline hydrates (colorless crystals) with the formula Y2(C2O4)3n H2O, where n = 4, 9, and 10.

Decomposes when heated:

The solubility product of yttrium oxalate at 25 °C is 5.1 × 10−30.[1]

The trihydrate Y2(C2O4)3•3H2O is formed by heating more hydrated varieties at 110 °C.[7]

Y2(C2O4)3•2H2O, which is formed by heating the decahydrate at 210 °C) forms monoclinic crystals with unit cell dimensions a=9.3811 Å, b=11.638 Å, c=5.9726 Å, β=96.079°.[8]
