Europium(III) oxalate hydrate is a coordination compound formed from europium, a rare earth element, and oxalic acid. It typically appears as a crystalline solid, often characterized by its bright red or pink color due to the presence of europium ions. This compound is known for its solubility in acidic solutions and relatively low solubility in neutral or basic conditions. The hydrate form indicates that water molecules are integrated into its crystal structure, which can influence its stability and reactivity. Europium(III) oxalate hydrate is utilized in various applications, including luminescent materials and phosphors, owing to europium's unique electronic properties. Additionally, it can serve as a precursor for the synthesis of other europium-containing compounds. The compound is generally handled with care, as europium and its compounds can pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, although they are not classified as highly toxic. Proper laboratory safety protocols should be followed when working with this substance.

Europium(III) oxalate hydrate, 99.9% (REO)

Europium(III) oxalate hydrate is a compound that is used in the hollowing of glass and porcelain. Europium(III) oxalate hydrate selectively reacts with oxalic acid, and can be used to detect europium(III). Europium(III) oxalate hydrate can also be used as a fluorescent agent for two-dimensional (2D) gel electrophoresis. The fluorescence of the europium ion is excited by UV light at 254 nm and emits light at 350 nm in the visible spectrum. Europium(III) oxalate hydrate has been shown to selectively react with terbium to form europium terbide, which can then be detected by atomic absorption spectroscopy.
