Neodymium(III) iodate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Nd(IO3)3.

Preparation

[edit]

Neodymium(III) iodate can be produced by the hydrothermal reaction of neodymium(III) nitrate or neodymium(III) oxide and iodic acid in water at 230 °C:[1]

Nd(NO3)3 + 3 HIO3 → Nd(IO3)3 + 3 HNO3
Nd2O3 + 6 HIO3 → 2 Nd(IO3)3 + 3 H2O

Properties

[edit]

Neodymium(III) iodate can be thermally decomposed as follows:[2]

7 Nd(IO3)3 → Nd5(IO6)3 + Nd2O3 + 9 I2 + 21 O2

Its monohydrate is known, crystallizing in the monoclinic crystal system, with space group P21, and its pyroelectric coefficient at room temperature is 2.2×10−5 C·m−2/K.[3]
