By means of preparative chemistry, chemical, X-ray structural, X-ray phase, and thermal analysis, the existence of the earlier disputed ytterbium acetylacetonate dihydrate YbA{sub 3} {center_dot} 2H{sub 2}O was proven. The structure of YbA{sub 3} {center_dot} 2H{sub 2}O contains monomeric molecules, linked into layers by hydrogen bonds. The coordination polyhedron of the Yb atom is a slightly distorted square antiprism. The Yb-O distances in the dihydrate are significantly longer than those in the monohydrate YbA{sub 3} {center_dot} 2H{sub 2}O. The absence of correlations between the Yb-O, O-C, and C-C bond lengths in the chelate cycles was observed. This proves the predominantly ionic nature of the metal-ligand bond in these compounds. The scheme for the interconversions of the hydrates of ytterbium tris-acetylacetonate is suggested, and their thermodynamic stability is discussed.
