Neodymium(II) Chloride
Neodymium(II) chloride or neodymium dichloride is a chemical compound of neodymium and chlorine with the formula NdCl2. Preparation Neodymium(II) chloride can be prepared by reducing neodymium(III) chloride with Lithium naphthalene, lithium metal/naphthalene or lithium chloride in Tetrahydrofuran, THF. Reduction of neodymium(III) chloride with neodymium metal at temperatures above 650 °C also yields neodymium(II) chloride: :2 NdCl3 + Nd → 3 NdCl2 Structure Neodymium(II) chloride adopts the lead(II) chloride, PbCl2 (cotunnite) structure. Each Nd2+ ion is coordinated by nine Cl− ions in a Tricapped trigonal prismatic molecular geometry, tricapped trigonal prismatic arrangement. Seven of the Nd-Cl distances are in the range 2.95-3.14 Å while two are longer at 3.45 Å. References
