Abstract Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (H(4)EDTA) acts as a multidentate ligand toward ytterbium nitrate in the presence of M2CO3 (M = K, Rb, Cs). All structurally characterized compounds are three-dimensional coordination polymers with eight-coordinated ytterbium and three alkali metal cations in the asymmetric unit. In the presence of potassium cations, two different phase pure reaction products can be obtained. From a water-containing solution, first a water deficient compound with composition K-3[Yb(EDTA) (CO3)](H2O)center dot H2O precipitates. When kept in the reaction mixture, this kinetic product transforms into the more water rich mixed-metal coordination network K-3[Yb(EDTA) (CO3)](H2O)(4)center dot 2H(2)O; alternatively, the conversion can be achieved by isolating the water-deficient product and immersing it into a water-containing solvent. The reverse reaction, partial dehydration, may be induced by prolonged drying in a desiccator, vacuum treatment, or heating. For the heavier alkali cations Rb+ and Cs+, only one crystalline structure type is found; it is isomorphous to the water-rich potassium derivative. Dehydration leads to amorphous products.
