Abstract
The complexes of yttrium and lanthanide with 1,1-cyclobutanedicarboxylic acid of the formula: Ln2(C6H6O4)3⋅nH2O, where n=4 for Y, Pr–Tm, n=5 for Yb,Lu, n=7 for La, Ce have been studied. The solid complexes have colours typical of Ln3+ ions. During heating in air they lose water molecules and then decompose to the oxides, directly (Y, Ce, Tm, Yb) or with intermediate formation. The thermal decomposition is connected with released water (313–353 K), carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons(538–598 K) and carbon oxide for Ho and Lu. When heated in nitrogen they dehydrate to form anhydrous salt and next decompose to the mixture of carbon and oxides of respective metals. IR spectra of the prepared complexes suggest that the carboxylate groups are bidentate chelating.
Abstract
Rare earth element 3-methyladipates were prepared as crystalline solids with general formula Ln2(C7H10O4)3⋅nH2O, where n=6 for La, n=4 for Ce,Sm–Lu, n=5 for Pr, Nd and n=5.5 for Y. Their solubilities in water at 293 K were determined (2⋅10–3–1.5⋅10–4 mol dm–3). The IR spectra of the prepared complexes suggest that the carboxylate groups are bidentate chelating. During heating the hydrated 3-methyladipates lose all crystallization water molecules in one (Ce–Lu) or two steps (Y) (except of La(III) complex which undergoes tomonohydrate) and then decompose directly to oxides (Y, Ce) or with intermediate formation of oxocarbonates Ln2O2CO3 (Pr–Tb) or Ln2O(CO3)2 (Gd–Lu). Only La(III) complex decomposes in four steps forming additionally unstable La2(C7H10O4)(CO3)2.
