The reduction wave of the aquo tripositive yttrium complex ion was studied in an unbuffered solution under various conditions for the purpose of solving the electrode reaction in the reduction process. The results of this investigation differed from previously reported findings. The addition of dilute acid to prevent hydrolysis of the complex ion resulted in a complete separation of the hydrogen wave from the reduction wave of the complex ion. The reduction wave was generally a single wave in a perchlorate solution and often a double wave in a halide solution. The electrode reaction of the single wave was irreversible and of a three-electron reduction. For the double wave, the first wave was irreversible or quasi-reversible and its electrode reaction was of a three-electron reduction; the second wave was irreversible and anomalous. (B.O.G.)
