Praseodymium (III) oxide is a chemical compound from the group of oxides .
Extraction and presentation
Like praseodymium (IV) oxide PrO 2, praseodymium (III) oxide can be obtained by reacting praseodymium with oxygen .
It can also be obtained by reducing the black praseodymium (III, IV) oxide Pr 6 O 11 with hydrazine or by dehydrating praseodymium (III) hydroxide.
properties
Praseodymium (III) oxide is a yellow powder that is insoluble in water. It comes in both a white hexagonal shape and a yellow to green cubic crystal structure. In moist conditions it reacts quickly to form praseodymium (III) hydroxide .
use
Praseodymium (III) oxide is used to color glass and ceramics. It is also being studied as a material for semiconductor devices.
