Niobium(V) oxalate is the hydrogen oxalate salt of niobium(V). The neutral salt has not been prepared.[2]

Complexes

[edit]

Niobium(V) can form complexes with hydroxy acids, as well as oxalic acid. The salt formed is more complex than tartaric acid for niobium (as opposed to tantalum).[3] NH4[NbO(C2O4)2(H2O)2]·3H2O starts to lose water at 125°C, and at 630°C, it fully decomposes, forming a compound known as niobium pentoxide;[4] Heating this complex and sodium citrate at 650°C can form sodium niobate (NaNbO3).[5]

Rb3[NbO(C2O4)3]·2H2O is a colourless crystal, which includes the [NbO(C2O4)3]3- anion.[6] Sr3[NbO(C2O4)3]2·8H2O is a compound containing the same anion, forming the anhydrous at 200°C, starting to decompose at 260°C, and at 875°C it decomposes to SrCO3 and SrNb2O6.[7]
