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.
