Caesium oxalate (standard IUPAC spelling), or dicesium oxalate, or cesium oxalate (American spelling) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula {{chem2|Cs2C2O4|auto=1}}. It is a caesium salt of oxalic acid. It consists of caesium cations {{chem2|Cs+}} and oxalate anions {{chem2|C2O4(2−)}}.
Preparation
Caesium oxalate can be prepared by passing carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide over caesium carbonate at 380 °C:{{cite journal |last1=Kudo |first1=Kiyoshi |last2=Ikoma |first2=Futoshi |last3=Mori |first3=Sadayuki |last4=Komatsu |first4=Koichi |last5=Sugita |first5=Nobuyuki |title=Synthesis of oxalate from carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide in the presence of caesium carbonate |journal=Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 2 |date=1997 |issue=4 |pages=679–682 |doi=10.1039/A607856G}}

Other alkali carbonates do not undergo transformation to oxalate.
Caesium carbonate can react with oxalic acid in aqueous solution to give caesium oxalate.{{Cite journal|last1=Dinnebier|first1=Robert E.|last2=Vensky|first2=Sascha|last3=Panthöfer|first3=Martin|last4=Jansen|first4=Martin|date=2003-03-01|title=Crystal and Molecular Structures of Alkali Oxalates: First Proof of a Staggered Oxalate Anion in the Solid State|url=https://doi.org/10.1021/ic0205536|journal=Inorganic Chemistry|volume=42|issue=5|pages=1499–1507|doi=10.1021/ic0205536|pmid=12611516|issn=0020-1669|url-access=subscription}}

Chemical Reactions
Caesium oxalate can be reduced back into caesium carbonate and carbon monoxide by thermal decomposition.

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