Abstract
The solids isolated from solutions of europium metal in liquid ammonia in the absence of air or moisture were found to contain increasing proportions of a europium(III) product with increasing reaction times (0 to 1.5 h). Long (several days) reaction times lead to formation of Eu(NH2)2 and it is suggested that the europium(III) is derived from unstable Eu(NH2)3 present in the reaction mixture, the latter acting as a reaction intermediate in the formation of the former.
