Lanthanide Oxalates: From Single Crystals to 2D Functional Honeycomb Nanosheets.

ABSTRACT: Oxalates are simple, low-cost but crucial compounds in the technology of lanthanides, actinides, and transition metals. Apart from using oxalate as a versatile ligand in coordination chemistry, simple oxalate salts are still under a scientific focus, linked with ion batteries, optical and magnetic materials, and, most importantly, industrial-technological mining and separation loops. The typically low solubility of oxalate salts is advantageous from the viewpoint of a convenient and affordable synthesis requiring only green solvents. Even though basic lanthanide oxalates have been known for decades, their structural descriptions have remained fuzzy, especially concerning water content and heavy lanthanide analogues. Herein, we present a newly developed preparation technique for large oxala
