Dysprosium isopropoxide

Mazdiyasni et al. (584) were successful in depositing Zr02/Hf02 by a similar route as well as the oxides of yttrium, dysprosium, and ytterbium from their isopropoxides at about 250°C under an atmosphere of nitrogen. More recently, deposition of A1203 on InP was reported (585) by the thermolysis of A1(0-/-Pr)3 and also of Ti02 and Ta205, respectively, from their ethoxides (586). 

Brown and Mazdiyasni carried out thermogravimetric analyses of yttrium, dysprosium, and ytterbium isopropoxides and observed a 30% weight loss up to 200-250°C with the formation of an intermediate hydroxide which was converted to the oxide in the temperature range 750-850°C.
