Description
The present study is aimed to elucidate the existence of the ceric orthophosphate by synthesis and characterization of ‘Ce3(PO4)4’ and CePO4. The results obtained indicate a mixed valence in both phosphates obtained, corresponding to nonstoichiometric compounds of cerium in an intermediate oxidation state (molar ratios P/Ce of 1.06 to 1.18). Based on the results obtained, the existence of other ceric phosphates synthesized at high temperatures is discussed.
