Thermal Transformation in Anhydrous Rare Earth Acetates

Abstract
The thermal transformation in anhydrous acetates of Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu, and Y has been studied by thermal analysis. The enthalpy change, ΔH, and the entropy change, ΔS, accompanying the transformation process are reported and related to ionic radius of the rare earth element.The acetates of the rare earth elements, La, Pr, and Nd did not exhibit the thermal transformation property.
