Caesium oxalate (standard IUPAC spelling) dicesium oxalate, or cesium oxalate (American spelling) is the oxalate of caesium. Caesium oxalate has the chemicals formula of Cs₂C₂O₄. Not much is known about caesium oxalate has caesium.

Preparation

Caesium oxalate can be prepared by passing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide over caesium carbonate at 380 °C:[1]

Cs₂CO₃ + CO + CO₂ → Cs₂C₂O₄ + CO₂

Other alkali carbonates do not undergo transformation to oxalate.[1]

Chemical Reactions

Caesium oxalate can be reduced back into caesium carbonate and carbon dioxide by thermal decomposition.

Cs₂C₂O₄ → Cs₂CO₃ + CO

Double salts

Compounds that contain caesium and another element in addition to the oxalate anion are double salts. The oxalate may form a complex with a transition metal that can make a salt with caesium.

Examples include: a caesium neptunium oxalate (CsNpO₂C₂O₄•nH₂O).[2]
