Abstract
The thermal decomposition of cesium tris(oxalato) ferrate(III) dihydrate, Cs3 Fe(ox)3 2H2O has been studied at various temperatures in air, employing Mössbauer and infrared spectroscopies, and thermogravimetric methods. The complex undergoes reduction to an iron(II) intermediate at 473 K. The particle size of α-Fe2O3 formed during thermolysis increases with increasing decomposition temperature. Finally, a solid state reaction between α-Fe2O3 and cesium carbonate/oxide occurs, leading to the formation of fine particles of cesium ferrite (CsFeO2).
