Reaction of ytterbium hydroxide and nitric acid:
Ytterbium(III) nitrate forms colorless hygroscopic crystals.
Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition , where n = 4, 5, 6.[5]
The hydrated ytterbium nitrate thermally decomposes to form YbONO3 and decomposes to ytterbium oxide upon further heating.
Ytterbium(III) nitrate hydrate is used for nanoscale coatings of carbon composites.[6]
Also used to obtain metallic ytterbium and as a chemical reagent.
Used as a component for the production of ceramics and glass.
