Dysprosium(III) acetate

Dysprosium acetate is an inorganic compound with the formula . It forms hydrates including a tetrahydrate.

Preparation

Dysprosium acetate can be obtained by treating dysprosium oxide with acetic acid:

Dy<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> + 6 CH<sub>3</sub>COOH → 2 Dy(CH<sub>3</sub>COO)<sub>3</sub> + 3 H<sub>2</sub>O

Its hydrate, when heated to 150 °C in vacuum, yields the anhydrous triacetate.

Reactions

Dysprosium(III) acetate tetrahydrate catalyzes the cyclization of 2-{[2-(phenylsulfonyl)hydrazinylidene]methyl}benzoic acid (BSHOPA) to form 2-(phenylsulfonyl)phthalazin-1(2H)-one (PSP).

Dysprosium(III) acetate forms a variety of coordination polymers, e.g. with cymantrenecarboxylic acid.
