Preparation, investigation on characterization and sublimation ability of the pivalat complexes of some rare-earth elements.

Abstract

Some complexes between rare-earth elements and pivalic acid Ln(Piv)3.HPiv (Ln: Sm, Gd, Ho, Yb; HPiv: pivalic acid) were synthesized and their sublimation ability have been studied. The synthesized complexes were studied by IR, thermal analysis and massspectroscopy methods. The obtained results show that pivalates evaporate comparatively well.
