CAS 38245-38-4: Neodymium carbonate

Neodymium(III) carbonate hydrate

Neodymium Carbonate mainly used for glass, crystal and capacitors. It is useful in protective lenses for welding goggles. It is also used in CRT displays to enhance contrast between reds and greens. It is highly valued in glass manufacturing for its attractive purple coloring to glass. This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Neodymium(III) carbonate hydrate (99.9%-Nd) (REO)

Neodymium(III) carbonate hydrate is an inorganic compound that is fluorescent and exhibits a lanthanide-like color. It has been used as a component of coatings for glass, plastics, and textiles. Neodymium(III) carbonate hydrate can be used as an efficient method for fabricating semiconductor devices such as transistors. This material was shown to have electron microscopic particles with high purity and good crystallinity. Furthermore, it has been shown to have a reaction mechanism that is based on the oxidation of neodymium ions by peroxides in the presence of water. The crystal x-ray diffraction data showed that the neodymium ion is octahedral with coordination numbers 6 and 8. Neodymium(III) carbonate hydrate reacts with acid to form a complex ion with neutral ph.
