Abstract Direct dissolution of metallic europium and ytterbium in alcohols, without the use of a catalyst, was studied. In this work we report the reactions with methanol, ethanol and isopropanol. The Mossbauer spectra of the europium compounds indicated that the element in the obtained products is in the oxidation state II, whereas for the ytterbium compounds the oxidation sate of the element is III. Some of the compounds were also prepared by the metal vapour synthesis technique for comparison. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science S.A.
