Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).

Preparation

edit

Erbium iodate can be obtained by reacting erbium periodate and periodic acid in water at 160 °C. The reaction will produce anhydrous and dihydrate crystals.[2]

Properties

edit

Erbium iodate dihydrate is stable below 266 °C, loses two molecules of water at 289 °C, and decomposes at 589 °C to generate iodine and release oxygen.[3]
