Gadolinium(III) iodide is an iodide of gadolinium, with the chemical formula of GdI3. It is a yellow, highly hygroscopic solid with a bismuth(III) iodide-type crystal structure. In air, it quickly absorbs moisture and forms hydrates. The corresponding oxide iodide is also readily formed at elevated temperature. [2]

Preparation

Gadolinium(III) iodide can be obtained by reacting gadolinium with iodine: [2]

2 Gd + 3 I2 → 2 GdI3

It can also be obtained by reacting gadolinium with mercury(II) iodide in a vacuum at 500 °C: [2]

2 Gd + 3 HgI2 → 2 GdI3 + 3 Hg

Gadolinium(III) iodide can be obtained by the reaction between gadolinium(III) oxide and hydroiodic acid, crystallizing into the hydrate form. The hydrate form can be heated with ammonium iodide to form the anhydrous form. [2] [3]

Gd2O3 + 6 HI → 2 GdI3 + 3 H2O

Reactions

Gadolinium(III) iodide reacts with gadolinium and zinc in an argon atmosphere heated to 850 °C to obtain Gd7I12Zn. [4] It reacts with gadolinium, carbon, and gadolinium nitride in a tantalum tube at 897 °C to obtain nitrocarbide Gd4I6CN. [5]

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.

Carbide chlorides are mixed anion compounds containing chloride anions and anions consisting entirely of carbon. In these compounds there is no bond between chlorine and carbon. But there is a bond between a metal and carbon. Many of these compounds are cluster compounds, in which metal atoms encase a carbon core, with chlorine atoms surrounding the cluster. The chlorine may be shared between clusters to form polymers or layers. Most carbon chloride compounds contain rare earth elements. Some are known from group 4 elements. The hexatungsten carbon cluster can be oxidised and reduced, and so have different numbers of chlorine atoms included.

Carbide bromides are mixed anion compounds containing bromide and carbide anions. Many carbide bromides are cluster compounds, containing on, two or more carbon atoms in a core, surrounded by a layer of metal atoms, encased in a shell of bromide ions. These ions may be shared between clusters to form chains, double chains or layers.

Carbide iodides are mixed anion compounds containing iodide and carbide anions. Many carbide iodides are cluster compounds, containing one, two or more carbon atoms in a core, surrounded by a layer of metal atoms, and encased in a shell of iodide ions. These ions may be shared between clusters to form chains, double chains or layers.

Germanide halides are compound that include the germanide (Ge4−) anion and a halide such as chloride (Cl), bromide (Br) or iodide (I). They include germanide iodides, germanide bromides or germanide chlorides. They can be considered as mixed anion compounds. They are in the category of tetrelidehalides. Related compounds include the silicide iodides, and carbide iodides.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Europium compounds</span> Compounds with at least one europium atom

Europium compounds are compounds formed by the lanthanide metal europium (Eu). In these compounds, europium generally exhibits the +3 oxidation state, such as EuCl3, Eu(NO3)3 and Eu(CH3COO)3. Compounds with europium in the +2 oxidation state are also known. The +2 ion of europium is the most stable divalent ion of lanthanide metals in aqueous solution. Many europium compounds fluoresce under ultraviolet light due to the excitation of electrons to higher energy levels. Lipophilic europium complexes often feature acetylacetonate-like ligands, e.g., Eufod.
