Contents

Preparation

Erbium(III) selenide can be obtained by the reaction of erbium and selenium:

2 Er + 3 Se → Er2Se3

It can also be prepared by reacting erbium oxide and hydrogen selenide at high temperature. [3]

Er2O3 + 3 H2Se → Er2Se3 + 3 H2O

Properties

Erbium(III) selenide is an orthorhombic crystal with a Sc2S3 structure and a space group of Fddd. [2] It reacts with magnesium selenide at 1000 °C to obtain MgEr2Se4. [4]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Erbium</span> Chemical element, symbol Er and atomic number 68

Erbium is a chemical element; it has symbol Er and atomic number 68. A silvery-white solid metal when artificially isolated, natural erbium is always found in chemical combination with other elements. It is a lanthanide, a rare-earth element, originally found in the gadolinite mine in Ytterby, Sweden, which is the source of the element's name.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Holmium</span> Chemical element, symbol Ho and atomic number 67

Holmium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ho and atomic number 67. It is a rare-earth element and the eleventh member of the lanthanide series. It is a relatively soft, silvery, fairly corrosion-resistant and malleable metal. Like many other lanthanides, holmium is too reactive to be found in native form, as pure holmium slowly forms a yellowish oxide coating when exposed to air. When isolated, holmium is relatively stable in dry air at room temperature. However, it reacts with water and corrodes readily, and also burns in air when heated.

Europium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal europium (Eu). In these compounds, europium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as EuCl3, Eu(NO3)3 and Eu(CH3COO)3. Compounds with europium in the +2 oxidation state are also known. The +2 ion of europium is the most stable divalent ion of lanthanide metals in aqueous solution. Many europium compounds fluoresce under ultraviolet light due to the excitation of electrons to higher energy levels. Lipophilic europium complexes often feature acetylacetonate-like ligands, e.g., Eufod.

The soluble salts, such as nitrate, sulfate and acetate form hydrates upon crystallization. The oxide, hydroxide, fluoride, carbonate, phosphate and oxalate are insoluble in water.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Erbium acetylacetonate</span> Chemical compound

Erbium acetylacetonate is a coordination compound, with the chemical formula of Er(C5H7O2)3, or Er(acac)3 for short. It can be prepared by the reaction of metal erbium or erbium trihydride and acetylacetone. Erbium chloride could also react with ammonium acetylacetonate to obtain erbium acetylacetonate, which can be recrystallized in toluene. Its anhydrous form is stable in dry atmosphere and forms a hydrate in humid air. The anhydrous form cannot be obtained by heating the hydrate in humid atmosphere. It begins to decompose at 190 °C, and erbium oxide can be obtained by continuous heating at 505 °C.
