Holmium(III) selenide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ho2Se3.

Contents

Preparation

Holmium(III) selenide can be obtained from the reaction of holmium and selenium (in the presence of iodine): [2]

2 Ho + 3 Se → Ho2Se3

It can also be prepared by reacting holmium oxide and hydrogen selenide at high temperature. [3]

Ho2O3 + 3 H2Se → Ho2Se3 + 3 H2O

Properties

Holmium(III) selenide can form orthorhombic AgHoSe2 in the binary system of silver selenide. [4]
