Description and Uses

Yttrium(III) sulfate octahydrate, with the chemical formula Y2(SO4)3-8H2O, consists of infinite layers parallel to (10\overline 1), with [Y(H2O)4(SO4)3/2] being the only repeating unit. The layers are connected to each other using only moderately strong hydrogen bonds. The trivalent yttrium cation is coordinated by eight O-atoms from four sulfate groups and four water molecules in a distorted square antitetrahedron [YO8]. It is of the same structural type as the rare earth sulfate octahydrate[1].

Figure 1. View perpendicular to the (10 1) layer of the title compound, with [Y(H 2 O) 4/1 (SO 4 (1)) 3/3 (SO 4 (2)) 1/2 ] as the repeat unit. Key: [SO 4 ] tetrahedra (yellow), [YO 8 ] antiprisms (red), oxygen (blue) and hydrogen (light grey) atoms.

Yttrium sulfate is used in making many yttrium salts.
