Europium(III) carbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Eu₂(CO₃)₃.

Preparation

Europium(III) carbonate can be obtained by mixing and heating an aqueous solution of ammonium carbonate and europium(III) chloride.^[2] A saturated carbon dioxide ammonium carbonate solution (obtained from the reaction of hydrochloric acid and ammonium carbonate solution) can also precipitate europium carbonate from a europium salt solution.^[3] Other preparation methods include the thermal decomposition of europium(III) acetate^[4] and the reaction of a suspension of europium(III) oxide in water and supercritical carbon dioxide.^[5]

Chemical properties

Europium(III) carbonate is soluble in acid and releases carbon dioxide:^[1]

Eu₂(CO₃)₃ + 6 H⁺ → 2 Eu+3 + 3 H₂O + 3 CO₂↑

Europium(III) carbonate decomposes at high temperatures to form europium(III) oxide:

Eu₂(CO₃)₃ → Eu₂O₃ + 3 CO₂↑
