Lutetium(III) hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the
chemical formula In chemistry, a chemical formula is a way of presenting information about the chemical proportions of atoms that constitute a particular chemical compound or molecule, using chemical element symbols, numbers, and sometimes also other symbol ...
Lu(OH)3.


Production

Reacting lutetium chloride and alkalis will first produce Lu(OH)2Cl, then it will become Lu(OH)2.5Cl0.5. Finally, the reaction will produce Lu(OH)3.Aksel'rud, N. V.; Akhrameeva, T. I.

Chemical properties

Lutetium(III) hydroxide can react with acid and form lutetium(III) salts: : Lu(OH)3 + 3 H+ → Lu3+ + 3 H2O While heating lutetium(III) hydroxide, it will produce LuO(OH), continued heating could produce Lu2O3.
