I am having a doubt in synthesis of rare earth doped nanoparticles.

Though for preparation of np's, they used chloride derivatives, but i am having only oxide derivatives. How can i change oxide derivatives into chloride derivatives. For.eg: Y2O3 is my compound.

Yb2O3+6HCl---> 2YbCl3+3 H2O. Is it possible? If possible means, we r supposed to heat to evapourate water by 100C?
