Abstract
Abstract The hydration of diverse Lu2O3 samples, prepared from three different precursor salts, has been studied at temperatures up to 350 K and within the atmospheric range of pressures. The results are compared with the ones previously reported for Sm2O3 and Yb2O3. The Lu2O3 shows a peculiar reactivity towards H2O, regarding the one corresponding to the heavy rare earth sesquioxides. This is explained on the basis of the polymorphism of the Ln(OH)3 trihydroxides.
