Ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate Powder YbCl3 · 6H2O, CAS 10035-01-5
Ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate (YbCl3 · 6H2O) is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula YbCl3 · 6H2O. It is a hydrated salt of ytterbium and chloride ions.
Ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate is used as a raw material for the production of other ytterbium compounds, and as a dopant in the production of lasers and phosphors for lighting and display applications. It is also used in the preparation of various ceramic materials and in some organic synthesis reactions.
In addition to its industrial applications, ytterbium(III) chloride hexahydrate has some potential medical uses. It has been studied for its potential as a contrast agent in medical imaging, particularly for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and has been shown to have good imaging properties in some preclinical studies.
Application
Ytterbium Chloride is applied to numerous fiber amplifiers and fiber optic technologies, High purity grades are widely applied as a doping agent for garnet crystals in lasers an important colorant in glasses and porcelain enamel glazes. Ytterbium chloride is a powerful catalyst for the formation of acetals using trimethyl orthoformate. YbCl3 may be used as a calcium ion probe, in a fashion similar to a sodium ion probe, it is also used to track digestion in animals.
