The complexes have colours typical for Lnł³⁺ ions (Tb(III), Dy(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III), Y(III) - white; Ho(III) - cream and Er(III) - salmon). the carboxylate groups in these complexes are a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand or tridentate chelating-bridging. they are isostructural crystalline compounds characterized by low symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 k the 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates of heavy lanthanides and yttrium decompose in various ways. The complexes of Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III) and Y(III) at first dehydrate to form anhydrous salts which next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates of Yb(III) and Lu(III) are directly decomposed to oxides. When heated in nitrogen the hydrates also dehydrate in one step to form the anhydrous complexes that next form the mixture of carbon and oxides of respective metals or their carbonates. The solubility of the yttrium and heavy lanthanide 2,3-dimethoxybenzoates in water at 293 k is of the order of 10^-2 mol dm^-3.

Application of atomic absorption spectrophotometry for the determination of lanthanides in ores and rare earth concentrates

Summary Concentrations of La, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Y were determined in rare earth ores and concentrates by the flame atomic absorption method, those of Eu, Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Y also by the flameless method with a graphite cell. Accuracy was checked by using a standard lanthanides mixture. The results of the determinations in concentrates (by flame and by furnace AAS, both direct measurement and standard addition method) were compared with those obtained by spectrophotometry. Detection limits were defined in a HGA-70 graphite cell with application of a standard graphite tube. The results of the examinations revealed that both the AAS methods are suitable for lanthanide determinations in the above materials. Heavy lanthanides can be determined in lower concentrations than by spectrophotometry.

Die Nachweisgrenzen wurden für die Graphitküvette HGA-70 mit Standardgraphitröhre bestimmt. Es ergab sich, daß beide AAS-Methoden für den genannten Zweck verwendbar sind. Die schweren Lanthanide können in niedrigeren Konzentrationen bestimmt werden als mit Hilfe der Spektralphotometrie.

     

Complexes of Heavy Lanthanides and Yttrium with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic Acid

The complexes of yttrium and heavy lanthanides with 3,4-dimethoxybenzoic acid of the formula: Ln(C₉ H₉ O₄ )₃ ×n H₂ O, where Ln =Y(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III) and Lu(III), and n =4 for Tb(III), Dy(III), n =3 for Ho(III), and n =0 for Er(III), Tm(III), Yb(III), Lu(III) and Y(III) have been prepared and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric and magnetic studies and X-ray diffraction measurements. The complexes have colours typical of Ln³⁺ ions (Ho - cream, Tb, Dy, Yb, Lu, Y - white, Er - salmon). The carboxylate group in these complexes is a symmetrical, bidentate, chelating ligand. They are crystalline compounds characterized by various symmetry. On heating in air to 1273 K the hydrated 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in two steps while those of anhydrous only in one stage. The tetrahydrates of Tb and Dy and trihydrate of Ho 3,4-dimethoxybenzoates are firstly dehydrated to form anhydrous salts that next are decomposed to the oxides of the respective metals. The complexes of Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y are directly decomposed to the oxides of the appropriate elements. The solubility in water at 293 K for yttrium and heavy lanthanides is in the order of 10^-4 -10^-3 mol dm^-3 . The magnetic moments of the complexes were determined over the range 77–298 K. They obey the Curie-Weiss law. The values of μ_eff calculated for all compounds are close to those obtained for Ln³⁺ by Hund and van Vleck. The results show that there is no influence of the ligand field on 4f electrons of lanthanide ions in these polycrystalline compounds and 4f electrons do not take part in the formation of M-O bonding.

Thermal decompositions of heavy lanthanide aconitates

The conditions of thermal decomposition of Tb(III), Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu aconitates have been studied. On heating, the aconitates of heavy lanthanides lose crystallization water to yield anhydrous salts, which are then transformed into oxides. The aconitate of Tb(III) decomposes in two stages. First, the complex undergoes dehydration to form the anhydrous salt, which next decomposes directly to Tb₄O₇. The aconitates of Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb and Lu decompose in three stages. On heating, the hydrated complexes lose crystallization water, yielding the anhydrous complexes; these subsequently decompose to Ln₂O₃ with intermediate formation of Ln₂O₂CO₃.

Herstellung von Seltenerdcyaniden

Zusammenfassung Seltenerd-cyanoargentateM[Ag(CN)₂]₃ wurden hergestellt (M=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er und Y), die aus wäßriger Lösung mit 3–4 Mol H₂O kristallisieren. Pr-cyanoargentat wurde entwässert und mit Li reduziert; hierbei konnte das in Tetrahydrofuran (THF) unlösliche Pr(CN)₃ im Gemisch mit anderen Stoffen erhalten werden. Da sich LiCN als inTHF löslich erwies, wurde die Herstellung aus AgCN und Li inTHF in Gegenwart von Naphthalin verbessert. LiCN wurde mit Seltenerdbromid-THF-Solvaten inTHF umgesetzt; hierbei fielen die bisher unbekannten einfachen Erdcyanide aus, die sehr zersetzlich sind und nach dem Trocknen die ZusammensetzungM(CN₃)· ·2THF besaßen (M=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm Yb, Lu und Y). Die Umsetzung verläuft bei den Verbindungen der Ceriterden schwieriger als bei denen der Yttererden; die Cyanide von La und Ce wurden nur mit überschüssigemTHF erhalten.

Rare-earth cyanoargentatesM[Ag(CN)₂]₃ were prepared (M=La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er and Y), crystallising from aqueous solution with 3–4 moles of water. Pr-cyanoargentate was dehydrated and reduced with Li yielding some Pr(CN)₃, insoluble in tetrahydrofurane (THF), in mixture with other substances. Because LiCN proved to be soluble inTHF, the preparation from AgCN and Li inTHF in the presence of naphthalene was refined. LiCN was reacted with rare-earth bromide-THF-solvates inTHF, whereupon precipitation occured of the hitherto unknown, very sensitive to moisture simple rareearth cyanides, which after drying had the compositionM(CN)₃· ·2THF (M=Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, Lu and Y). The reaction is more difficult with the lighter lanthanon bromides than with the heavier ones; the cyanides of La and Ce were prepared only with excessTHF.

Luminescent determination of lanthanides using phosphor crystals

Summary Data on luminescent methods for the determination of lanthanides (Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb) in various objects using phosphor crystals have been systematized. It has been shown that the choice of the base and type of luminescence excitation are of special importance for working out analytical techniques. The processes of interionic interaction resulting in quenching or sensitization of luminescence are described. Some examples (ScBO₃ · Ce · Tb, GdOF · Tb (Ho, Er), Cs₂NaTbCl₆ · Eu) were considered to show the possibilities of luminescence sensitization allowing to lower the detection limit by 1.5–2 orders of magnitude. Summarizing tables of the proposed methods are given as well as some specific recommendations on the determination of the individual lanthanides.

The hydrated complexes first lose water to form anhydrous salts and then decompose to the oxides of respective metals. The ytterbium and lutetium 2,4-dimethoxybenzoates decompose in one step to form Yb₂O₃ and Lu₂O₃. The solubilities of the 2,4-dimethoxybenzoates of yttrium and heavy lanthanides in water and ethanol at 293 K are of the order of: ^10–3 and 10^–3 –10^–2 mol dm^–3, respectively. The magnetic moments for the complexes were determined over the range of 77–298 K. They obey the Curie–Weiss law.
