Solvation and ligand exchange reactions of ytterbium(III) as a model for the late trivalent f-elements have been studied in triflate and bistriflylamide ionic liquids (ILs) with the purpose of contributing to a wider understanding of f-element organometallic catalysis, as well as separation and nuclear fuel reprocessing, in ILs. Using the compounds [C4mpyr] 3[Yb(OTf)6] and [C4mpyr][Yb(Tf 2N)4] [C4mpyr = N-methyl-N-propylpyrrolidinium; OTf = triflate, trifluoromethanesulfonate; Tf2N = bistriflylamide, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)amide] we were able to structurally characterize the local surroundings of Yb3+ in the ILs [C4mpyr][OTf] and [C4mpyr][Tf2N]unequivocally. The formation of [C 4mpyr]3[Yb(OTf)6][C4mpyr][Tf 2N] from a solution of Yb(Tf2N)3 in [C 4mpyr][OTf] shows that the stronger coordinating OTf- anion completely replaces the less Lewis basic Tf2N- anion in the first coordination sphere of the lanthanide ion. As expected, such a ligand exchange could not be observed for Yb(OTf)3 in [C 4mpyr][Tf2N]. The ion exchange in the lanthanide coordination sphere can be efficiently monitored by means of cyclic voltammetry (CV). CV measurements also indicate that Yb3+ adopts a mixed OTf -/Tf2N- coordination environment when Yb(OTf)3 is dissolved in [C4mpyr][Tf2N]. The measured half-wave potentials of the studied systems can be linked to the electron-donor properties of the metal cation. Solvation and ligand exchange reactions of ytterbium(III) as a model for the later trivalent lanthanides have been studied in triflate and bistriflylamide ionic liquids (ILs) with the purpose of contributing to a wider understanding of organometalliccatalysis, as well as separation and nuclear fuel reprocessing, in ILs.
Electrodeposition of rare earth metals Y, Gd, Yb in ionic liquids

, p. 104 - 108 (2010)
The possibility of yttrium, gadolinium, and ytterbium electrodeposition from solutions of their triflates in different ionic liquids at 100°C was investigated. It was shown that these metals could be deposited on the cathode from electrolytes based on ionic liquids with quaternary ammonium cations, and these metals do not deposit from 1-butyl-2,3-dimethylimidazolium triflate. It was established that, in the case of butyltrimethylamonium triflate usage, metal deposition occurs on a copper electrode, and it does not occur on a platinum electrode, and in 1-butyl-1-methylpirrolidinium triflate, the reduction process is possible on both electrodes. Yb3+ reduction occurs step by step via Yb2+ formation. It was shown that the limiting stage of the cathode process is adsorption of a metal cation on the electrode.

The thermal decomposition of the lanthanoid trifluoromethanesulfonate (triflate) complexes {Ln(CF3SO3)3·9H2O; Ln=La-Lu} was studied by TG and DTA methods. From the endothermic and exothermic data of Ln(CF3SO3)3·9H2O complexes, pyrolysis behavior of the complexes is classified into three groups: 1) La-Nd salts, 2) Sm-Ho salts, 3) Er-Lu salts. It has also shown that all the final decomposition products were found to result in the formation of LnF3.
