Neodymium(III) chloride hexahydrate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

purple crystals, crystalline powder or chunks

Uses

Neodymium(III) chloride hexahydrate may be used as a source of Nd³⁺ ions, to be used to dope AgBr crystals, known to exhibit lasing effects.

Application

Neodymium(III) Chloride is a typical starting material for the production of Nd metal. It is also used a a source of Nd3+ ion for doping into laser host materials.

Health Hazard

Neodymium(III) chloride hexahydrate does not seem toxic to humans and animals (approximately similar to table salt). 

Purification Methods

Neodynium chloride forms large purple prisms from concentrated solutions of dilute HCl. They are soluble in H2O (2.46 parts in 1 part of H2O) and EtOH, and lose H2O at 160o.
