Physical properties

Ytterbium can form crystals and it is easily soluble in water. Its hydrates are in the form of Yb(CH3COO)3·nH2O where n= 1, 4, 6.[2][3]

Applications

Ytterbium acetate can be used as a raw material for the synthesis of upconversion luminescent materials[4]；it can also be used as a catalyst for some specific organic reactions.[5]
