Thulium(III) acetate is the acetate salt of thulium, with the chemical formula of Tm(CH3COO)3. It can exist in the tetrahydrate or the anhydrous form.[2]
Properties
Thulium(III) acetate reacts with iron acetylacetonate at 300 °C, which can form the hexagonal crystal TmFeO3.[3]
Reacting thulium(III) acetate with trifluoroacetic acid will produce thulium trifluoroacetate:[4]
