Erbium compounds

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Erbium compounds are compounds containing the element erbium (Er). These compounds are usually dominated by erbium in the +3 oxidation state, although the +2, +1 and 0[1] oxidation states have also been reported.

Oxides

Erbium(III) oxide powder

Erbium(III) oxide (also known as erbia) is the only known oxide of erbium, first isolated by Carl Gustaf Mosander in 1843, and first obtained in pure form in 1905 by Georges Urbain and Charles James.[2] It has a cubic structure resembling the bixbyite motif. The Er3+ centers are octahedral.[3] The formation of erbium oxide is accomplished by burning erbium metal.[4] Erbium oxide is insoluble in water and soluble in mineral acids.

Halides

Erbium(III) chloride hydrate

monoclinic crystals and the point group C2/m.[12] Erbium(III) chloride hexahydrate also forms monoclinic crystals with the point group of P2/n (P2/c) - C42h. In this compound, erbium is octa-coordinated to form [Er(H2O)6Cl2]+ ions with the isolated Cl completing the structure.[13]

Erbium(III) bromide is a violet solid. It is used, like other metal bromide compounds, in water treatment, chemical analysis and for certain crystal growth applications.[14] Erbium(III) iodide[15] is a slightly pink compound that is insoluble in water. It can be prepared by directly reacting erbium with iodine.[16]

Borides

gas turbines, and the nozzles of rocket engines.[17] Erbium hexaboride is another boride of erbium, with a calcium hexaboride structure. It is isostructural with all other rare-earth hexaboride compounds including lanthanum hexaboride, samarium hexaboride, and cerium hexaboride.[18]

Other compounds

Erbium(III) acetate tetrahydrate powder

cubic system, space group Fm3m.[24] Erbium(III) nitrate (Er(NO3)3[25][26][27]) forms pink crystals. It is readily soluble in water and forms crystalline hydrates.[28][29] Erbium(III) acetate is a light pink solid that is used to synthesize some optical materials.[30]
The tetrahydrate of erbium(III) acetate is thermally decomposed at 90 °C, giving a proposed anhydride:

Er(CH3COO)3·4H2O → Er(CH3COO)3 + 4 H2O

Continuing heating to 310 °C will form ketene:

Er(CH3COO)3 → Er(OH)(CH3COO)2 + CH2=C=O

At 350 °C, the proposed Er(OH)(CH3COO)2 loses

Er2O3 at 590 °C.[31]

Organoerbium compounds

Organoerbium compounds are very similar to

cyclopentadienides (isostructural with those of lanthanum) and the σ-bonded simple alkyls and aryls, some of which may be polymeric.[32]
