The lanthanide sulphate octahydrates Ln2(SO4)3·8H2O (Ln=Ho, Tm) and the respective tetrahydrate Pr2(SO4)3·4H2O were obtained by evaporation of aqueous reaction mixtures of trivalent rare earth oxides and sulphuric acid at 300 K. Ln2(SO4)3·8H2O (Ln=Ho, Tm) crystallise in space group C2/c (Z=4, aHo=13.4421(4) Å, bHo=6.6745(2) Å, cHo=18.1642(5) Å, βHo=102.006(1) Å3 and aTm=13.4118(14) Å, bTm=6.6402(6) Å, cTm=18.1040(16) Å, βTm=101.980(8) Å3), Pr2(SO4)3·4H2O adopts space group P21/n (a=13.051(3) Å, b=7.2047(14) Å, c=13.316(3) Å, β=92.55(3) Å3). The vibrational and optical spectra of Ho2(SO4)3·8H2O and Pr2(SO4)3·4H2O are also reported.
In the lanthanide sulphate octahydrates the cations form slightly undulated layers. Between the layers are voids in which sulphate tetrahedra and water molecules are located. The holmium compound exhibits an Alexandrite effect.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights
