Neodymium tungstate

Neodymium tungstate is an inorganic compound, a salt of neodymium and tungstic acid with the chemical formula Nd2(WO4)3.

It forms hydrated light purple crystals[1] that are slightly soluble in water.

Reacting neodymium (III) oxide and tungsten (VI) oxide at 1000 °C would produce anhydrous neodymium tungstate: Neodymium 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.
