Terbium(III) nitrate is an inorganic chemical compound, a salt of terbium and nitric acid, with the formula . The hexahydrate crystallizes as triclinic colorless crystals with the formula . It can be used to synthesize materials with green emission.
Preparation Terbium(III) nitrate can be prepared by dissolving terbium(III,IV) oxide in a mixture of aqueous and solution.
Terbium(III) nitrate can be obtained by reacting terbium(III) oxide with nitric acid and crystallizing then drying the crystals with 45~55% sulfuric acid to obtain the hexahydrate.高胜利, 刘翊纶, 杨祖培. 稀土硝酸盐的制法、性质及结构 . 稀土, 1990 (4): 23-28.
