Hydrothermal synthesis, crystal structure and characterizations of a lanthanum(III) sulfate oxalate with a 3D network structure

Hydrothermal reaction of lanthanum(III) sulfate with oxalic acid at 180 °C resulted in a novel 3D lanthanum(III) sulfate oxalate, La2(C2O4)(SO4)2(H2O)3, in which the lanthanum(III) ions are interconnected via oxalate and sulfate groups to form a novel 3D network of lanthanum(III) sulfate–oxalate hybrid.
