硫酸イットリウム八水和物

説明Yttrium(III) sulfate octahydrate, with the chemical formula Y2(SO4)3-8H2O, consists of infinite layers parallel to (10\overline 1), with [Y(H2O)4(SO4)3/2] being the only repeating unit. The layers are connected to each other using only moderately strong hydrogen bonds. The trivalent yttrium cation is coordinated by eight O-atoms from four sulfate groups and four water molecules in a distorted square antitetrahedron [YO8]. It is of the same structural type as the rare earth sulfate octahydrate[1].Figure 1. View perpendicular to the (10 1) layer of the title compound, with [Y(H 2 O) 4/1 (SO 4 (1)) 3/3 (SO 4 (2)) 1/2 ] as the repeat unit. Key: [SO 4 ] tetrahedra (yellow), [YO 8 ] antiprisms (red), oxygen (blue) and hydrogen (light grey) atoms.

使用Yttrium sulfate is used in making many yttrium salts.

製造方法Yttrium sulfate is produced as an intermediate in recovering yttrium from monazite or xenotime (see Yttrium, Recovery). Rare earth sulfates are separated on a cation exchange resin bed. Yttrium fraction is purified by fractional crystallization. Alternatively, yttrium sulfate may be prepared by reacting yttrium oxide with sulfuric acid.
