Dysprosium(III) fluoride is an inorganic compound of dysprosium with a chemical formula DyF₃.

Production

Dysprosium(III) fluoride can be produced by mixing dysprosium(III) chloride or dysprosium(III) carbonate into 40% hydrofluoric acid.^[1]

DyCl₃ + 3 HF → DyF₃ + 3 HCl

Dy₂(CO₃)₃ + 6 HF → 2 DyF₃ + 3 H₂O + 3 CO₂

DyF₃ can also be produced by hydrothermal reaction of dysprosium nitrate and sodium tetrafluoroborate at 200 °C.^[2]

DyF₃ can also be produced when dysprosium oxide and ammonium bifluoride are mixed and heated to 300 °C until the oxide is porous, and continued to heat to 700 °C. When hydrogen fluoride is introduced, a reaction occurs:^[3]

Dy₂O₃ + 6 HF → 2 DyF₃ + 3 H₂O

Properties

Dysprosium(III) fluoride is a white, odorless solid that is insoluble in water.^[4] It has an orthorhombic crystal structure with the space group Pnma (space group no. 62).^[5]
