Neodymium Nitrate

Neodymium nitrate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula Nd(NO3)3. It is a salt that is made up of neodymium cations (Nd3+) and nitrate anions (NO3-).

Neodymium nitrate is typically a white or light pink solid with a crystalline structure. It is soluble in water and other polar solvents, and it can form hydrated salts by binding to water molecules.

Neodymium nitrate is commonly used as a starting material for the production of neodymium-based materials, such as neodymium magnets, which are widely used in various industries. It can also be used in the preparation of other neodymium compounds.

In terms of safety precautions, neodymium nitrate should be handled with care as it may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact. Inhalation of its dust or fumes can also cause respiratory problems. Proper protective equipment should be worn when handling this compound.
