LU1141 Lutetium(III) Carbonate Hydrate (CAS No. 64360-99-2)

Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3) Description

Lutetium Carbonate (Lu₂(CO₃)₃), also known as Lutetium (III) Carbonate Hydrate, is one of the important lutetium compounds. Compounds of lutetium always contain the element in the oxidation state +3. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colorless and form white crystalline solids upon drying, except the iodide. Lutetium salts, such as nitrate, sulfate, and acetate are water-soluble while oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate, and oxalate are insoluble in water. Lutetium is silvery-white and is the last element in the rare earth series. However, unlike most rare earth, Lutetium lacks a magnetic moment and is the least naturally abundant element of its series. The mineral monazite is the most common source of commercially produced Lutetium.
