Praseodymium pentaphosphide is a binary inorganic compound of praseodymium metal and phosphorus with the chemical formula PrP5.

Contents

Preparation

Praseodymium pentaphosphide can be prepared by heating stoichiometric amounts of praseodymium and phosphorus at 700 °C:

Pr + 5P → PrP5

Properties

Praseodymium pentaphosphide crystallizes in the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/m, cell parameters a = 0.4938 nm, b = 0.9595 nm, c = 0.5482 nm, β = 103.64°, Z = 2, with the same structure as neodymium pentaphosphide (NdP5). [1] [2]

The compound is formed by a peritectic reaction at a temperature of 697 °C. [3]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Praseodymium</span> Chemical element, symbol Pr and atomic number 59

Praseodymium is a chemical element; it has symbol Pr and the atomic number 59. It is the third member of the lanthanide series and is considered one of the rare-earth metals. It is a soft, silvery, malleable and ductile metal, valued for its magnetic, electrical, chemical, and optical properties. It is too reactive to be found in native form, and pure praseodymium metal slowly develops a green oxide coating when exposed to air.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Lutetium tantalate</span>

Lutetium tantalate is a chemical compound of lutetium, tantalum and oxygen with the formula LuTaO4. With a density of 9.81 g/cm3, this salt is the densest known white stable material. (Although thorium dioxide ThO2 is also white and has a higher density of 10 g/cm3, it is radioactively unstable; while not radioactive enough to make it unstable as a material, even its low rate of decay is still too much for certain uses such as phosphors for detecting ionising radiation.) The white color and high density of LuTaO4 make it ideal for phosphor applications, though the high cost of lutetium is a hindrance.

Praseodymium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal praseodymium (Pr). In these compounds, praseodymium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as PrCl3, Pr(NO3)3 and Pr(CH3COO)3. However, compounds with praseodymium in the +2 and +4 oxidation states, and unlike other lanthanides, the +5 oxidation state, are also known.
