Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3) Description
Lutetium Carbonate (Lu2(CO3)3), also known as Lutetium(III) carbonate hydrate, is one of the principal lutetium compounds. Lutetium compounds always contain the element in the oxidation state +3. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colourless and yield white crystalline solids upon drying, except in the case of the iodide. Lutetium salts such as nitrate, sulphate and acetate are water-soluble, whereas oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate and oxalate are insoluble in water. Lutetium is silvery-white and is the final element in the Rare Earth Elements. In contrast to most Rare Earth Elements, lutetium does not exhibit a magnetic moment and is the least naturally occurring element of its series. The mineral monazite is the most common source for commercially produced lutetium.
