Europium(III) oxalate (Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃) is a chemical compound of europium and oxalic acid. There are different hydrates including the decahydrate, hexahydrate and tetrahydrate.^[1] Europium(II) oxalate is also known.^[3]

Preparation

An excess of oxalate is added to a hot solution of Eu³⁺ cations. The resulting precipitate of Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃ ⋅ 10H₂O is dried in a desiccator.^[4]

Properties

Europium(III) oxide (Eu₂O₃) can be prepared by calcining europium(III) oxalate.^[5]

The dehydration of Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃ · 10H₂O occurs below 200 °C:^[1]

{\ce {Eu2(C2O4)3*10H2O -> Eu2(C2O4)3*6H2O -> Eu2(C2O4)3*4H2O -> Eu2(C2O4)3}}

The decomposition of this compound takes place in two stages, the first at 350 °C and the second at about 620 °C.^[1]^[6]

{\ce {Eu2(C2O4)3 -> Eu2[CO3]3 + 3 CO -> Eu2O3 + 3 CO2 + 3 CO}}

In the Mössbauer spectrum, Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃ · 10H₂O shows an isomer shift of +0,26 mm/s with a line width of 2,38 mm/s, in reference to EuF₃.^[4]^[7] The Debye temperature of Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃ is 166±15 K.^[8]

Eu₂(C₂O₄)₃ · 10H₂O crystallizes monoclinically in the space group of P21/c (space group no. 14) with the lattice parameters a = 1098, b = 961, c = 1004 pm and β = 114.2° with four formula units per unit cell.^[9]

Nanoparticles show a line emission when excited by a light source of 393 nm, the transitions ⁵D₀→⁷F₁ (592 nm) and ⁵D₀→⁷F₂ (616 nm) can then be found in the spectrum. This can be used as a red phosphor for white LEDs.^[10]
