Oxides
editPraseodymium can form oxides in many different ways, although the only oxides that are stable at room temperature are Pr2O3, Pr6O11 and PrO2. Praseodymium(III) oxide is a green powder that forms hexagonal crystals,[1] and crystallizes in the manganese(III) oxide or bixbyite structure.[2] Praseodymium(IV) oxide can be produced by boiling Pr6O11 in water or acetic acid:[3]
- Pr6O11 + 3 H2O → 4 PrO2 + 2 Pr(OH)3
Praseodymium(III,IV) oxide is the most stable form of the praseodymium oxides at ambient temperature and pressure.[4] It is soluble in water[5] and has a cubic fluorite structure.[6] It can be prepared via solid-state methods such as thermolysis, molten salt method, calcination or precipitation.[6][4][7]
In addition to Pr6O11, praseodymium also forms a system of oxides at different phases:
Value | Formula | Phase | x in PrOx | Average oxidation state of Pr |
---|---|---|---|---|
4 | Pr2O3 | θ | 1.5 | 3 |
7 | Pr7O12 | ι | 1.714 | 3.428 |
9 | Pr9O16 | ζ | 1.778 | 3.556 |
10 | Pr5O9 | ε | 1.8 | 3.6 |
11 | Pr11O20 | δ | 1.818 | 3.636 |
12 | Pr6O11 | β | 1.833 | 3.667 |
∞ | PrO2 | 2 | 4 |
Halides
editPraseodymium metal reacts with all the stable halogens to form green trihalides:[8]
- 2 Pr (s) + 3 F2 (g) → 2 PrF3 (s)
- 2 Pr (s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 PrCl3 (s)
- 2 Pr (s) + 3 Br2 (g) → 2 PrBr3 (s)
- 2 Pr (s) + 3 I2 (g) → 2 PrI3 (s)
Praseodymium(III) fluoride is the most stable fluoride of praseodymium. It can be prepared the reaction between praseodymium(III) nitrate and sodium fluoride will produce praseodymium(III) fluoride as a green crystalline solid.[9] Praseodymium(III) chloride is a light green solid that can be prepared by treating praseodymium metal with hydrogen chloride.[10][11] It is usually purified by vacuum sublimation.[12] Praseodymium(III) chloride is Lewis acidic, classified as "hard" according to the HSAB concept. Rapid heating of the hydrate may cause small amounts of hydrolysis.[12] PrCl3 forms a stable Lewis acid-base complex K2PrCl5 by reaction with potassium chloride; this compound shows interesting optical and magnetic properties.[13]
Praseodymium(III) bromide is the only stable bromide of praseodymium. It adopts the UCl3 crystal structure.[14] The praseodymium ions are 9-coordinate and adopt a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry.[15] The praseodymium–bromine bond lengths are 3.05 Å and 3.13 Å.[16] Praseodymium(III) iodide can be prepared by heating praseodymium and iodine in an inert atmosphere produces praseodymium(III) iodide,[17] or by heating praseodymium with mercury(II) iodide.[18] It forms orthorhombic crystals which are hygroscopic.[17] It crystallizes in the PuBr3 type[18][19] with space group Cmcm (No. 63) with a = 4.3281(6) Å, b = 14.003(6) Å and c = 9.988(3) Å.[20]
The tetrafluoride, PrF4, is also known, and is produced by reacting a mixture of sodium fluoride and praseodymium(III) fluoride with fluorine gas, producing Na2PrF6, following which sodium fluoride is removed from the reaction mixture with liquid hydrogen fluoride.[15] Additionally, praseodymium forms a bronze diiodide; like the diiodides of lanthanum, cerium, and gadolinium, it is a praseodymium(III) electride compound.[15]
