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]

Synthesis

Reaction of ytterbium and nitric oxide in ethyl acetate:

{\mathsf {Yb+3N_{2}O_{4}\ {\xrightarrow {}}\ Yb(NO_{3})_{3}+3NO\uparrow }}

Reaction of ytterbium hydroxide and nitric acid:

{\mathsf {Yb(OH)_{3}+3HNO_{3}\ \xrightarrow {} \ Yb(NO_{3})_{3}+3H_{2}O\uparrow }}

Physical properties

Ytterbium(III) nitrate forms colorless hygroscopic crystals.

Soluble in water and ethanol.

Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition ${\ce {Yb(NO3)3*nH2O}}$ , where n = 4, 5, 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.
