Dysprosium(III) nitrate pentahydrate

Dysprosium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is a compound that is used as a catalyst in organic synthesis. Dysprosium is used to catalyze the reaction of aromatic hydrocarbons with light emission. This reaction mechanism has been shown to be due to the ability of dysprosium to adsorb on the surface of ferrite, which releases energy and causes an excimer-like emission. The morphology of dysprosium can also be modified by monocarboxylic acid, which alters its optical properties. Dysprosium has been shown to have good chemical stability, water vapor resistance, and high thermal stability. It can also form stable complexes with conjugates such as phosphines or amines.

Dysprosium(III) nitrate pentahydrate is used to prepare carboxylate-based dinuclear dysprosium compound by reacting with n-butyric acid and triethylamine using methanol as a solvent.
