| Ytterbium(III) chloride Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Ytterbium(III) chloride (YbCl3) is a white powdery monoclinic crystals. It reacts with NiCl2 to form a very effective catalyst for the reductive dehalogenation of aryl halides. It is used in catalysis and as a NMR shift reagent in biology. It can also be used to track the digestion process in all animals.Ytterbium(III) Chloride is a typical starting material for the production of Yb metal. It is also used a a source of Yb3+ ion for doping into laser host materials. | | Uses | Used as laboratory reagent, optical glasses, structural ceramics, catalysts, electrical components and photo-optical material. Applied with NiCl2 to form a very effective catalyst for the reductive dehalogenation of aryl halides. Ytterbium(III) chloride is a powerful catalyst for the formation of acetals using trimethyl orthoformate and also used to track digestion in animals. | | Definition | ChEBI: Ytterbium(III) chloride is the trichloride salt of ytterbium(III). It has a role as a NMR shift reagent. It contains a ytterbium(3+). | | Preparation | Anhydrous ytterbium(III) chloride can be produced by the ammonium chloride route. In the first step, ytterbium oxide is heated with ammonium chloride to produce the ammonium salt of the pentachloride: Yb2O3 + 10NH4Cl → 2(NH4)2YbCl5 + 6H2O + 6NH3In the second step, the ammonium chloride salt is converted to the trichlorides by heating in a vacuum at 350-400°C: (NH4)2YbCl5 → YbCl3 + 2HCl + 2NH3 | | Safety Profile | Poison by
intraperitoneal route. Mtldly toxic by
ingestion. An experimental teratogen. A skin
and eye irritant. When heated to
SYN: YTTERBIUM TRICHLORIDE
decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-.
