Preparation

edit

Dysprosium(III) selenide can be prepared by reacting dysprosium(III) oxide or dysprosium(III) chloride with hydrogen selenide:[1]

Dy2O3 + 3 H2Se → Dy2Se3 + 3 H2O
2 DyCl3 + 3 H2Se → Dy2Se3 + 6 HCl

It can also be obtained by reacting the elements at high temperatures:[2]

2 Dy + 3 Se → Dy2Se3

Properties

edit

Dysprosium(III) selenide reacts with arsenic triselenide to obtain DyAsSe3.[3]

Dy2Se3 + As2Se3 → 2DyAsSe3
