Preparation

Heating neodymium and iodine in an inert atmosphere produces this salt:[ citation needed ]

2 Nd + 3 I2 → 2 NdI3

It can also be prepared by the reaction of neodymium(III) oxide and hydroiodic acid to make a hydrate: [4]

Nd2O3 + 6 HI → 2 NdI3 + 3 H2O

The anhydrate can then be obtained by heating the nonahydrate with ammonium iodide: [4]

NdI3 • 9 H2O + nNH4I → NdI3 + nNH3 + nHI + 9H2O
