Variables:
Room Temp: 25 - 50 °C
Prepared by:
St. Trendafilova, Chr. Balarew
Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
The isothermal method was used. The mixtures were stirred for one week. $\ce{Eu^{3+}}$ was determined complexometrically [1]. $\ce{Nd^{3+}}$ and $\ce{Sm^{3+}}$ were determined gravimetrically as $\ce{Nd2O3}$ and $\ce{Sm2O3}$, respectively. The solid phases were analyzed by DTA and IR spectroscopy.
Source and Purity of Materials:
- The formate salts were prepared by reacting the respective hydroxide with formic acid. The $\ce{Nd2O3}$, $\ce{Sm2O3}$ and $\ce{Eu2O3}$ had 0.05-1.5 mass% impurities. The formic acid has $n_{D}^{20}$ = 1.3712.
Estimated Errors:
Ambient temperature: The temperature was controlled to within ±0.1°C.

Experimental Data
Authors' Comment: The solubility is expressed as % oxide because at 50°C, hydrolysis possibly occurs. Analysis of crystal phases dried at room temperature shows a composition Me(CHO2)3·nH2O where n = 0-0.5 for the formates from La to Ho. However the presence of water could not be confirmed by IR spectroscopy. For Eu and Gd, n = 0.
