Description
Neodymium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate Product Overview
Neodymium(III) nitrate hexahydrate (Nd(NO3)3·6H2O) forms violet to pink crystals that dissolve easily in water and ethanol. Like other neodymium compounds, its color changes with lighting because of sharp absorption bands.
Materials producers use it as the neodymium source when making Nd-doped laser crystals such as Nd:YAG, often together with Yttrium (III) nitrate. Glass producers use neodymium to make violet glasses and filters that remove yellow light, for example in welding and glassblowing goggles. It also serves as a precursor for neodymium oxide, catalysts and research on NdFeB magnet materials.
Furthermore, for other rare earth nitrates, see Lanthanum(III) nitrate hexahydrate and Cerium Nitrate Hexahydrate. Rare earth oxides in our range also include Dysprosium Oxide, which finds use alongside neodymium in high-temperature magnets.
Key Applications of Neodymium(III) Nitrate Hexahydrate
Typical uses include, for example:
🔦 Laser Crystals
Neodymium source for Nd:YAG as well as other laser materials.
🔬 Colored Glass
Colorant for violet glasses as well as didymium filters.
🧲 Magnet Research
Precursor in NdFeB magnet material research.
⚗️ Catalysts
Precursor for neodymium catalysts as well as oxides.

Always consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS), because it contains the full classification and handling instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do neodymium compounds change color?
Neodymium ions have sharp absorption bands, so the perceived color shifts between violet and pink depending on the light source.
Which purities do you supply?
Purities from 99.9% to 99.999% on a rare earth oxide basis are available.
How can I get a price and documents?
Prices depend on quantity, packaging and destination, so please contact us with your required volume. We then send a quotation together with the CoA and SDS.
