Gadolinium oxalate is the oxalate of gadolinium, with the chemical formula Gd2(C2O4)3. Its hydrate can be prepared by the reaction of gadolinium nitrate and oxalic acid. [1]
The decahydrate of gadolinium oxalate thermally decomposes to obtain the anhydrous form, which can then be heated to produce gadolinium oxide. [2] Gadolinium oxalate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce Gd(C2O4)Cl. [3] It also reacts with sodium hydroxide under hydrothermal conditions to produce gadolinium hydroxide. [1]
