Neodymium(III) perchlorate is an inorganic compound. It is a salt of neodymium and perchloric acid with the chemical formula of Nd(ClO4)3. It is soluble in water, forming purple-pink, hydrated crystals.
Properties Physical properties
Neodymium(III) perchlorate forms pale purple crystals when in its anhydrous form.
It is soluble in water, forming a fluorescent solution.
It forms crystals Nd(ClO4)3·nH2O, where n = 4, 4.5 are purple-pink crystals, and n = 6 forms pale pink to lavender crystals.
Alkaline salts
Nd(ClO4)3 can form alkaline salts, with the general formula of Nd(OH)x(ClO4)3 − x. The salt with x = 1.5 (saturated with 5 water atoms) is a light purple crystal with d = 2.88 g/cm³.
Other compounds Nd(ClO4)3 can form compounds with hydrazine, such as Nd(ClO4)3·6N2H4·4H2O which is a small white crystal that is soluble in water, methanol, ethanol and acetone, and insoluble in toluene, with density of 2,3271 g/cm³ at 20 °C.Izvestii︠a︡ vysshikh uchebnykh zavedeniĭ: Khimii︠a︡ i khimicheskai︠a︡ tekhnologii︠a︡, Tập 16, Số phát hành 1 (Ivanovskiĭ khimiko-tekhnologicheskiĭ in-t, 1973), trang 182.
