Abstract: The solubilities of the ternary system,Yb(NO3)3·3H2O-B15C5-CH3OH, at 18℃ havebeen investigated by a modified semimcro phase equilibrium method through mesuiementof the refractive indexes of the saturated solutions.The results showed that in the ternarysystem there is only one complex formed with composition of Yb(NO3)3·B15C5·3H2O·2CH3OH.which had been identified by thermal analysis. The molar ratio of ytterbium salt to water in complexes was found to be 1:3 in anypreparation and there was the same molar content of organic molecule in complexes, i.e.0.65 for all three solvents after the complexes were maintained till constant in weight indiscator with concentrated H2SO4.
