Ammonium neodymium nitrate

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is a chemical compound with the chemical formula Nd(NH4)2(NO3)5. The compound is classified as a rare earth metal salt, belonging to nitrates.

The compound can be prepared by the reaction of neodymium oxide, nitric acid, and ammonium nitrate.

Also, it can be made by a reaction of neodymium oxide or neodymium carbonate with ammonium nitrate, releasing water as a byproduct:

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is soluble in water.

The compound forms a tetrahydrate of the composition Nd(NH4)2(NO3)5 • 4H2O—red-violet crystals that melt in their own crystallization water at 47 °C.

The compound reacts with strong acids to form soluble complexes. It can release nitrogen oxides when decomposed.

Ammonium neodymium nitrate is used as a precursor for the synthesis of many other neodymium compounds and also as a reagent for various chemical reactions.
