Cerium Salt Compounds

Cerium Oxide, also known as Cerium(IV) Oxide or Cerium Dioxide, is an oxide of the rare-earth metal cerium. It is a pale yellow-white powder with the chemical formula CeO2. It is an important commercial product and an intermediate in the purification of the element from the ores. The distinctive property of this material is its reversible conversion to a non-stoichiometric oxide.

Cerium(IV) Hydroxide, also known as Ceric Hydroxide, is a highly water insoluble crystalline Cerium source for uses compatible with higher (basic) pH environments. It is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ce(OH)4. It is a yellowish powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in concentrated acids. 

Cerium(III) Carbonate Ce2(CO3)3, is the salt formed by cerium(III) cations and carbonate anions. It is a water insoluble Cerium source that can easily be converted to other Cerium compounds, such as the oxide by heating (calcination).Carbonate compounds also give off carbon dioxide when treated with dilute acids.

Cerium(III) Oxalate (Cerous Oxalate) is the inorganic cerium salt of oxalic acid, which is highly insoluble in water and converts to the oxide when heated (calcined). It is a white crystalline solid with the chemical formula of Ce2(C2O4)3. It could be obtained by the reaction of oxalic acid with cerium(III) chloride.
