Cerium stearate is a metal-organic compound with the approximate chemical formula (C17H35CO2)3Ce. The compound is classified as a metallic soap, i.e. a metal derivative of a fatty acid. [2]

Contents

Synthesis

Cerium stearate is synthesized from the reaction of cerium oxide with stearic acid in an inert atmosphere at temperatures between 100 and 200 °C. [3] It can also be obtained by the reaction of cerium nitrate and potassium stearate. [2]

Physical properties

The compound forms a white powder which is insoluble in water.[ citation needed ]

Uses

The compound, which is a metallic soap, is used as a lubricant, antioxidant, and antifoaming agent. Other uses include as a catalyst in the synthesis of polymers and as a stabilizer in the production of plastics. [3]
