A heteronuclear complex, La2Cu(C4O4)(4)(H2O)(16)(.)2H(2)O, was synthesized and its thermal decomposition products were studied. Results of chemical analysis and TGA agreed with theoretical values for La2Cu(C4O4)(4)(H2O)(16)(.)2H(2)O complex. The La2CuO4 single phase having ca. 100 nm in crystal size was obtained by the thermal decomposition at 700 degreesC for 1 h.
