LU1148 Lutetium(III) Sulfate Octahydrate (CAS No. 13473-77-3)

Lutetium (III) Sulfate (Lu2(SO4)3) Description

Lutetium (III) Sulfate, also known as Lutetium Sulphate, is one of the important lutetium compounds. Lutetium compounds are always in the oxidation state +3. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colorless and form white crystalline solids upon drying. Lutetium salts, such as nitrate, sulfate, and acetate are water-soluble while the oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate, and oxalate are insoluble. 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.
