Popis: Two new potassium ytterbium sulfates KYb(SO4)2·H2O and KYb(SO4)F2 have been obtained by a conventional hydrothermal method, which are found to crystallize in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n and P21/m, respectively. KYb(SO4)2·H2O features a three-dimensional open framework built by isolated YbO4 polyhedra and SO4 tetrahedra, while KYb(SO4)F2 exhibits a zigzag-chain structure built by YbO4F4 polyhedra running along [010] direction. Magnetic measurements indicate that both of two compounds display a paramagnetic behavior down to 2 ​K with a dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between ytterbium ions. TGA and temperature-dependent PXRD measurements verify the excellent thermal stability of their frameworks. Solid-state UV–vis–NIR diffuse reflectance spectra show that they have wide optical band gaps of 4.95 ​eV and 5.36 ​eV, respectively.
