Holmium trihydroxide, with the CAS number 12054-57-8, is an inorganic compound composed of holmium, a rare earth element, and hydroxide ions. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water. Holmium trihydroxide is often encountered in the context of holmium's various oxidation states and its role in the production of other holmium compounds. The compound exhibits amphoteric behavior, meaning it can react with both acids and bases. It is primarily used in research and industrial applications, particularly in the fields of materials science and nuclear technology. Holmium itself is known for its magnetic properties and is utilized in various applications, including in the production of magnets and as a dopant in certain types of lasers. Safety precautions should be taken when handling holmium trihydroxide, as with many rare earth compounds, due to potential health hazards associated with exposure.
