The existence of negatively charged ytterbium complexes was confirmed by the ionic exchange method. The conductometric method for determination of compositions of ytterbium complexes with citric acid produced a negative result. The composition and stability of ytterbium citrate complexes at various pH (in the pH interval 3 to 6) and various ratios of nitric acid and ytterbium were found by potentiometric titration. lt is shown that the instability constant of the complex (Yb Cit/sub 2/)/sup 3-/ equals 1 x 10/sup -8/; the ratio of instability constants of (HYbCit/sub 2/)/sup 2-/ and (YbCit/sub 2/)/sup 3-/ equals 10/sup -5/. Formation of complexes (YbOH Cit)/sup -/, (Yb(OH)/sub 3/Cit)/ sup 3-/, and (Yb Cit)/sup -/at pH 5 and 6 and with small quantities of citric acid was observed, and tentative data for the magnitude of their constants of instability (10/sup -6/, 10/sup -36/, and 10/sup -8/, respectively) are included.
