Lutetium Acetate ((CH3CO2)3Lu) Description
Lutetium Acetate, also known as Lutetium(III)-acetate hydrate, is one of the most important lutetium compounds. It is moderately soluble in water and decomposes upon heating to thorium oxide. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colourless and yield white crystalline solids upon drying. Lutetium salts such as nitrate, sulphate and acetate are water-soluble, whereas the oxides, hydroxides, fluorides, carbonates, phosphates and oxalates are insoluble. Lutetium is silvery-white and the final element in the Rare Earth Elements series. Unlike most rare earths, lutetium does not possess a magnetic moment and is the least naturally abundant element in its series. The mineral monazite is the most common source of commercially produced lutetium.
