Rubidium oxalate is the rubidium salt of oxalic acid .
Manufacturing
Rubidium oxalate can be made from rubidium carbonate and oxalic acid.
It is also formed during the thermal decomposition of rubidium formate .
properties
Rubidium oxalate crystallizes as monohydrate (COO) 2 Rb 2 in the monoclinic crystal system. and is isomorphic to potassium oxalate monohydrate. There are two modifications of the anhydrate at room temperature : one modification is monoclinic and isotypic to cesium oxalate , the other is orthorhombic and isotypic to potassium oxalate. Freshly produced anhydrous rubidium oxalate initially mainly contains the monoclinic phase , but this slowly converts irreversibly into the orthorhombic modification. In 2004, two more high temperature phases of rubidium oxalate were discovered. Crystal data of the various modifications of rubidium oxalate:
modification | Crystal system | Space group | a in Å | b in Å | c in Å | β | Z |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
alpha | monoclinic | P2 1 / c | 6.328 | 10.455 | 8.217 | 98.016 ° | 4th |
beta | orthorhombic | Pbam | 11.288 | 6.295 | 3,622 | - | 2 |
Monohydrate | monoclinic | C2 / c | 9.617 | 6.353 | 11.010 | 109.46 ° | 4th |
The standard enthalpy of formation of the crystalline rubidium oxalate is 1325.0 ± 8.1 kJ / mol.
The decomposition of rubidium oxalate with the release of carbon monoxide and subsequently carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place at 507 - 527 ° C.
In addition to the neutral rubidium oxalate, there is also a hydrogen oxalate with the formula RbH (COO) 2 , which is isomorphic to the corresponding potassium compound and forms monoclinic crystals, as well as an acidic tetraoxalate with the formula RbH 3 (COO) 4 , which crystallizes as a dihydrate, at 18 ° C has a density of 2.125 g / cm −3 and a solubility of 21 g / l at 21 ° C.
When a solution in hydrogen peroxide is evaporated, rubidium oxalate forms a monoperhydrate with the composition (COO) 2 Rb 2 · H 2 O 2 , which forms monoclinic crystals that are relatively stable in air.
Rubidium oxalate reacts with hydrogen fluoride to form a complex compound.
