Erbium(III) oxalate hydrate is a coordination compound formed from erbium, a rare earth element, and oxalic acid. It typically appears as a pink or reddish crystalline solid due to the characteristic color of erbium ions. The compound is often encountered in its hydrated form, which means it contains water molecules in its crystal structure. Erbium(III) oxalate hydrate is soluble in water, and its solubility can be influenced by temperature and pH. This compound is of interest in various applications, including materials science and as a precursor in the synthesis of erbium-based materials for optical and electronic devices. The presence of oxalate ligands allows for the formation of stable complexes, which can be useful in various chemical reactions. Additionally, erbium compounds are known for their luminescent properties, making them valuable in laser technology and telecommunications. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many rare earth compounds, due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.

Erbium(III) oxalate hydrate

Erbium oxalate hydrate is a chemical compound that is used as a phosphor in the production of light emitting diodes (LED). It emits visible light upon excitation by radiation or other sources. Erbium oxalate hydrate is produced by the reaction of erbium oxide with sodium citrate and lanthanum oxide in a reaction vessel. The erbium oxalate hydrate crystals are then heated to remove water vapor and are dried under vacuum. This product has a functional group of oxalate, which is a five-membered cyclic anhydride of carbonic acid. Another name for this product is gadolinium oxide. It reacts with water vapor to form an oxide, gadolinium oxide, which is stable in air and moisture.
