Praseodymium hexaboride is a binary inorganic compound of praseodymium and boron with the formula PrB6. It forms black crystals that are insoluble in water.

Contents

Preparation

Praseodymium hexaboride can be prepared from the reaction of stoichiometric quantities of praseodymium and boron:

Pr + 6B → PrB6

Properties

Praseodymium hexaboride forms black crystals of the cubic crystal system, with space group Pm3m, cell parameters a = 0.4129 nm, Z = 1, and structure isotypical with calcium hexaboride. [2] The compound melts congruently at 2610 °C. [3] At temperatures below 7 K, a magnetic transition to an antiferromagnetic state occurs in the compound. [4] [5] [6] It does not dissolve in water.

Uses

Praseodymium hexaboride is used as a component of alloys for cathodes of high-power electronic devices.

Samarium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal samarium (Sm). In these compounds, samarium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as SmCl3, Sm(NO3)3 and Sm(C2O4)3. Compounds with samarium in the +2 oxidation state are also known, for example SmI2.

Ytterbium compounds are chemical compounds that contain the element ytterbium (Yb). The chemical behavior of ytterbium is similar to that of the rest of the lanthanides. Most ytterbium compounds are found in the +3 oxidation state, and its salts in this oxidation state are nearly colorless. Like europium, samarium, and thulium, the trihalides of ytterbium can be reduced to the dihalides by hydrogen, zinc dust, or by the addition of metallic ytterbium. The +2 oxidation state occurs only in solid compounds and reacts in some ways similarly to the alkaline earth metal compounds; for example, ytterbium(II) oxide (YbO) shows the same structure as calcium oxide (CaO).
