Lutetium(III) Oxide is a chemical compound from the group of oxides. It is hygroscopic and also absorbs carbon dioxide. It reacts with acids to form cations, which in turn react weakly acidic in water. Like the other trivalent oxides of the heavier lanthanides, it crystallises in the cubic lanthanide C structure.
