Preparation
editReacting neodymium (III) oxide and tungsten (VI) oxide at 1000 °C would produce anhydrous neodymium tungstate:
- Nd2O3 + 3 WO3 → Nd2(WO4)3
- The nonahydrate could be produced by the reaction of sodium tungstate and neodymium (III) nitrate:
- 3 Na2WO4 + 2 Nd(NO3)3 → Nd2(WO4)3·9H2O↓ + 6 NaNO3
Properties
editNeodymium tungstate forms the crystal of a monoclinic crystal system, with space group A 2/a, lattice constants a = 1.151 nm, b = 1.159 nm, c = 0.775 nm and β = 109.67 °.[2] It is insoluble in ethanol and acetone and sparingly soluble in water. It forms the nonahydrate Nd2(WO4)3·9H2O.
