Ytterbium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt of ytterbium and nitric acid with the chemical formula Yb(NO3)3. [2] The compound forms colorless crystals, dissolves in water, and also forms crystalline hydrates. [3] [4]

Contents

Synthesis

Reaction of ytterbium and nitric oxide in ethyl acetate:

Yb + 3 N2O4 → Yb(NO3)3 + 3 NO↑

Reaction of ytterbium hydroxide and nitric acid:

Yb(OH)3 + 3 HNO3 → Yb(NO3)3 + 3 H2O↑

Physical properties

Ytterbium(III) nitrate forms colorless hygroscopic crystals.

Soluble in water and ethanol.

Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition Yb(NO3)3·nH2O, where n = 4, 5, or 6. [5]

Chemical properties

The hydrated ytterbium nitrate thermally decomposes to form YbONO3 and decomposes to ytterbium oxide upon further heating.

Application

Ytterbium(III) nitrate hydrate is used for nanoscale coatings of carbon composites. [6]

Also used to obtain metallic ytterbium and as a chemical reagent.

Used as a component for the production of ceramics and glass.

A transition metal nitrate complex is a coordination compound containing one or more nitrate ligands. Such complexes are common starting reagents for the preparation of other compounds.

Erbium compounds are compounds containing the element erbium (Er). These compounds are usually dominated by erbium in the +3 oxidation state, although the +2, +1 and 0 oxidation states have also been reported.

Ytterbium compounds are chemical compounds that contain the element ytterbium (Yb). The chemical behavior of ytterbium is similar to that of the rest of the lanthanides. Most ytterbium compounds are found in the +3 oxidation state, and its salts in this oxidation state are nearly colorless. Like europium, samarium, and thulium, the trihalides of ytterbium can be reduced to the dihalides by hydrogen, zinc dust, or by the addition of metallic ytterbium. The +2 oxidation state occurs only in solid compounds and reacts in some ways similarly to the alkaline earth metal compounds; for example, ytterbium(II) oxide (YbO) shows the same structure as calcium oxide (CaO).
