| Abstract: | The thermal decomposition patterns of Y2(C2O4)3 · 9 H2O, Nd2(C2O4)3 · 10 H2O and Ho2(C2O4)3 · 5.5 H2O have been studied using TG and DTG. The hydrated neodymium oxalate loses all the water of hydration in one step to give the anhydrous oxalate while Y2(C2O4)3 · 9 H2O and Ho2(C2O4)3 · 5.5 H2O involve four or more dehydration steps to yield the anhydrous oxalates. Further heating of the anhydrous oxalates results in the loss of CO2 and CO to give the stable metal oxides. |
