Cerium(III) carbonate Ce₂(CO₃)₃, is the salt formed by cerium(III) cations and carbonate anions. Its pure form was not yet confirmed to exist in the nature, but Ce-bearing carbonates (mainly bastnäsite group) stand for an ore of cerium metal, along with monazite.

Properties

The molecular weight of the compound of cerium(III) carbonate is 460.26 g/mole.^[1]

Synonyms

Cerium(III) carbonate is also known as cerium tricarbonate,^[2] dicerium tricarbonate, cerium carbonate, cerous carbonate, and dicerium(3+) ion tricarbonate.

Uses

Cerium(III) carbonate is used in the production of cerium(III) chloride, and in incandescent lamps.^[3]
