Basic Information
Product Name: Ytterbium(III) nitrate pentahydrate.
Chemical Formula: Yb(NO3)3. The common hydrate is the pentahydrate, with the formula Yb(NO3)3⋅5H2O.
CAS No. : 10034-98-9 (the CAS No. of the pentahydrate is 35725-34-9).
Appearance: The pentahydrate is usually a colorless to light green crystalline solid.
Solubility: It is highly soluble in water, and also soluble in some polar organic solvents such as ethanol.
Melting Point: The melting point of the pentahydrate is around 60 - 62 °C.
Density: The density of the pentahydrate is approximately 2.68 g/cm³.
Stability: Under normal temperature and pressure, it is relatively stable. But when heated to a certain temperature, it will decompose, releasing nitrogen oxides. It should be stored in a dry and cool place, away from reducing agents and combustibles to avoid chemical reactions.
Production Process
Ytterbium nitrate is typically prepared by reacting ytterbium oxide Yb2O3 with nitric acid.
The chemical equation is:
Yb2O3+6HNO3→2Yb(NO3)3+3H2O. Ytterbium oxide is added to dilute nitric acid, and the reaction is carried out at an appropriate temperature. After the reaction is complete, the solution is evaporated and concentrated, and then cooled for crystallization to obtain ytterbium nitrate pentahydrate crystals.
Application Areas
Optical Materials: Ytterbium nitrate is used in the preparation of optical materials. Ytterbium - doped optical fibers and crystals have important applications in the field of lasers and optical communication. In optical fibers, ytterbium ions can absorb and emit light at specific wavelengths, which is used for optical signal amplification and laser generation. For example, ytterbium - doped fiber lasers can emit high - power infrared laser light, which is widely used in materials processing, remote sensing, and other fields.
Catalysis: It can be used as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in some chemical reactions. Ytterbium ions can affect the reaction process and rate due to their special electronic structure. For example, in some organic synthesis reactions, ytterbium nitrate can promote the reaction and improve the yield and selectivity of the product.
Research and Development: In scientific research, it is used as a reagent to study the chemical properties and reactions of ytterbium. It is also used in the preparation of other ytterbium - containing compounds and materials, which provides important materials and technical support for the research and development of new functional materials.
Packaging and Transportation
Packaging: Usually, it is packaged in sealed glass or plastic bottles to prevent moisture and contact with air. The packaging should be labeled with product information, hazard warnings, and handling precautions. For large - scale production and transportation, it can also be packed in metal drums or plastic - lined bags.
Transportation: During transportation, it should be protected from moisture, heat, and mechanical damage. It should be transported in accordance with the relevant regulations for hazardous chemicals, and should be separated from flammable, explosive, and reducing substances to ensure the safety of transportation.
