Praseodymium(III) Chloride Hydrate Powder PrCl3 · xH2O, CAS 19423-77-9

Praseodymium(III) chloride hydrate (PrCl3 · xH2O) is a white crystalline powder with the chemical formula PrCl3 · xH2O. It is a hydrated salt of praseodymium and chloride ions.

The value of x in the chemical formula can vary depending on the level of hydration of the compound. Commonly, the x value is 6 or 7, indicating hexahydrate or heptahydrate forms.

Praseodymium(III) chloride hydrate is used as a raw material for the production of other praseodymium compounds and as a dopant in the production of optical fibers and phosphors for lighting and display applications. It is also used in the preparation of various ceramic materials.

In addition to its industrial applications, praseodymium(III) chloride hydrate has some potential medical uses. It has been studied for its potential as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of certain cancers, and has been shown to have anti-tumor activity in some preclinical studies.

Praseodymium Chloride, used to color glasses and enamels; when mixed with certain other materials, praseodymium produces an intense clean yellow color in the glass. Praseodymium Chloride is also the main raw material for making Praseodymium Metal. It is present in the rare earth mixture whose Fluoride forms the core of carbon arc lights which are used in the motion picture industry for studio lighting and projector lights.
