Praseodymium(III) chloride hydrate

Praseodymium chloride hydrate (PrCl3.6H2O) is an inorganic chemical compound that can be used to monitor the quality of analytical methods. Praseodymium chloride hydrate has a dipole moment, which makes it useful for monitoring the purity of reagents and solvents during analytical procedures. It is also used to validate analytical techniques such as absorption spectroscopy and electron spin resonance spectroscopy. Praseodymium chloride hydrate is soluble in acetonitrile and dioxane, but insoluble in water. This compound has been shown to have interactions with other lanthanides, such as cerium(IV) chloride, due to its covalent nature.
