Characteristic
Neodymium(III) chloride or neodymium trichloride is a chemical compound of neodymium and chlorine with the formula NdCl3. This anhydrous compound is a mauve-colored solid that rapidly absorbs water on exposure to air to form a purple-colored hexahydrate, NdCl3·6H2O.
Chemical formula:NdCl3, NdCl3·6H2O (hydrate)
Molar mass: 250.598 g/mol
Appearance: mauve-colored powder hygroscopic
Density: 4.13 g/cm3 (2.282 for hydrate)
Melting point: 758 °C (1,396 °F; 1,031 K)
Boiling point: 1,600 °C (2,910 °F; 1,870 K)
Solubility in water:0.967 kg/L at 13 °C
Solubility in ethanol: 0.445 kg/L
Crystal structure:hexagonal (UCl3 type)
Application
The chloride has several important applications as an intermediate chemical for production of neodymium metal and neodymium-based lasers and optical fibers. Other applications include a catalyst in organic synthesis and in decomposition of waste water contamination, corrosion protection of aluminium and its alloys, and fluorescent labeling of organic molecules (DNA).
