Oxalic acid is an organic acid with the systematic name ethanedioic acid and chemical formula HO−C(=O)−C(=O)−OH, also written as (COOH)2 or (CO2H)2 or H2C2O4. It is the simplest dicarboxylic acid. It is a white crystalline solid that forms a colorless solution in water. Its name comes from the fact that early investigators isolated oxalic acid from flowering plants of the genus Oxalis, commonly known as wood-sorrels. It occurs naturally in many foods. Excessive ingestion of oxalic acid or prolonged skin contact can be dangerous.
Strontium oxalate is a compound with the chemical formula SrC2O4. Strontium oxalate can exist either in a hydrated form or as the acidic salt of strontium oxalate . Strontium oxalate is soluble in 20 000 parts of water; in 1 900 parts of 3.5% acetic acid, in 115 parts of the 23% acid, but less soluble in the 35% acid; readily soluble in diluted HCl or nitric acid.
Magnesium oxalate is an organic compound comprising a magnesium cation with a 2+ charge bonded to an oxalate anion. It has the chemical formula MgC2O4. Magnesium oxalate is a white solid that comes in two forms: an anhydrous form and a dihydrate form where two water molecules are complexed with the structure. Both forms are practically insoluble in water and are insoluble in organic solutions.

Thorium oxalate is the inorganic compound with the formula Th(C2O4)2(H2O)4. It is a white insoluble solid prepared by the reaction of thorium(IV) salts with an oxalic acid. The material is a coordination polymer. Each Th(IV) center is bound to 10 oxygen centers: eight provided by the bridging oxalates and two by a pair of aquo ligands. Two additional water of hydration are observed in the lattice.

Copper(II) oxalate are inorganic compounds with the chemical formula CuC2O4(H2O)x. The value of x can be 0, 0.44, and 1. Two of these species are found as secondary minerals, whewellite (monohydrate) and moolooite. The anhydrous compound has been characterized by X-ray crystallography. Many transition metal oxalate complexes are known.
Yttrium oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of yttrium and oxalic acid with the chemical formula Y2(C2O4)3. The compound does not dissolve in water and forms crystalline hydrates—colorless crystals.
The carbonate oxalates are mixed anion compounds that contain both carbonate (CO3) and oxalate (C2O4) anions. Most compounds incorporate large trivalent metal ions, such as the rare earth elements. Some carbonate oxalate compounds of variable composition are formed by heating oxalates.
Manganese oxalate is a chemical compound, a salt of manganese and oxalic acid with the chemical formula MnC
2O
4. The compound creates light pink crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates. It occurs naturally as the mineral Lindbergite.
Tin(II) oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of tin and oxalic acid with the chemical formula SnC
2O
4. The compound looks like colorless crystals, does not dissolve in water, and forms crystalline hydrates.
Neptunium (IV) oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of neptunium and oxalic acid with the chemical formula Np(C2O4)2. The compound is slightly soluble in water, forms crystalline hydrates—green crystals.
Samarium(III) oxalate is an inorganic compound, a salt of samarium and oxalic acid with the formula Sm2(C2O4)3. The compound does not dissolve in water, forms a crystalline hydrate with yellow crystals.
Niobium(V) oxalate is the hydrogen oxalate salt of niobium(V). The neutral salt has not been prepared.
Europium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal europium (Eu). In these compounds, europium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as EuCl3, Eu(NO3)3 and Eu(CH3COO)3. Compounds with europium in the +2 oxidation state are also known. The +2 ion of europium is the most stable divalent ion of lanthanide metals in aqueous solution. Many europium compounds fluoresce under ultraviolet light due to the excitation of electrons to higher energy levels. Lipophilic europium complexes often feature acetylacetonate-like ligands, e.g., Eufod.
Rubidium oxalate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Rb2C2O4. It is a rubidium salt of oxalic acid. It consists of rubidium cations Rb+ and oxalate anions C2O2−4. Rubidium oxalate forms a monohydrate Rb2C2O4·H2O.
An oxalate chloride or oxalato chloride is a mixed anion compound contains both oxalate and chloride anions.
Ytterbium(III) oxalate is the oxalate of ytterbium, with the chemical formula Yb2(C2O4)3.
Thulium(III) oxalate is the oxalate of thulium with the chemical formula Tm2(C2O4)3. Its hydrate can be prepared by reacting an aqueous solution of thulium(III) chloride and a benzene solution of dimethyl oxalate. Its pentahydrate is decomposed by heat to obtain the dihydrate, which is further heated to obtain thulium(III) oxide. It reacts with hydrochloric acid to obtain H[Tm(C2O4)2]·6H2O.
