Europium(III) hydroxide

Europium(III) hydroxide is an inorganic compound with a chemical formula Eu(OH)<sub>3</sub>.

Chemical properties

Europium(III) hydroxide can be prepared by reacting metallic europium with water. It reacts with acids and produces europium(III) salts:

Eu(OH)<sub>3</sub> + 3 H<sup>+</sup> → Eu<sup>3+</sup> + 3 H<sub>2</sub>O

Europium(III) hydroxide decomposes to EuO(OH) at elevated temperature. Further decomposition produces Eu<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>.
