Lutetium(III)-sulphate (Lu2(SO4)3) Powder Description
Lutetium(III)-sulphate, also known as Lutetium sulphate, is one of the principal compounds of lutetium. Lutetium compounds occur in the +3 oxidation state. Aqueous solutions of most lutetium salts are colourless and yield white crystalline solids upon drying. Lutetium salts, such as nitrate, sulphate and acetate, are soluble in water, whereas the oxides, hydroxides, fluorides, carbonates, phosphates and oxalates are insoluble. Lutetium appears as a silvery-white metal and is the final element among the Rare Earths. In contrast with most Rare Earth elements, lutetium does not exhibit a magnetic moment and is the least abundant element in its group. The mineral monazite is the most common source for commercially produced lutetium.
