Neodymium Chloride

Neodymium chloride is a pink crystal in appearance. It is easy to dissolve in water and ethanol. It has deliquescence and should be kept in an airtight condition.

Neodymium Chloride Applications

1. Production of neodymium metal: Most common starting compound for the production of neodymium metal

2. Lasers and fiber amplifiers: it is a dopant not only of traditional silica-based optical fibers but of plastic fibers (dopedphotolime-gelatin, polyimide, polyethylene, etc.) as well.

3. Catalysis: used to combine with organic chemicals such as triethylaluminium, 2-propanol, and titanium dioxide

4. Corrosion protection: Neodymium (III) chloride is a corrosive inhibitor that is environmental friendly and much less toxic.

5. Labeling of organic molecules: Neodymium has strong luminescence, so neodymium chloride is often used as a source of Nd3+ ions as fluorescent labels in various physical and chemical reactions.
