A PROCESS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF RARE EARTH OXYCARBONATE USING CYTOSINE AND MICROWAVE IRRADIATION

摘要

The present invention provides a process for synthesis of homogenized nanosized rare earth oxycarbonates by chemical reactions among the reactants namely aqueous solutions of rare earth nitrates and cytosine molecule on microwave irradiation . The Cytosine acted as a weak base, an effective capping agent and source of carbon dioxide during the course of reaction with aqueous rare earth nitrates on microwave irradiation for the synthesis of homogenized nanosized rare earth oxycarbonates.
