Neodymium oxychloride or neodymium oxide chloride is an inorganic compound of neodymium, oxygen, and chlorine with the chemical formula NdOCl.[1]
NdOCl can be synthesized by reacting neodymium oxide (Nd2O3) and calcium dichloride (CaCl2).[2]
- Nd2O3 + CaCl2 → 2NdOCl + CaO[3]
Physical properties
The compound forms crystals of tetragonal system, space group P4/nmm.[4][5][6]
It exhibits paramagnetic susceptibility and structural stability.
