Dysprosium acetate is an inorganic compound with the formula . It forms hydrates including a tetrahydrate.
Dysprosium acetate can be obtained by treating dysprosium oxide with acetic acid:
Its hydrate, when heated to 150 ðC in vacuum, yields the anhydrous triacetate.
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.
