Chemistry & industry

Applications · 1 item

UsesUsed 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.

Preparation methods · 1 item

PreparationAnhydrous 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
