Preparation
Neodymium arsenate can be obtained from the reaction between sodium arsenate (Na3AsO4) and neodymium chloride (NdCl3) in solution:[3]
- Na3AsO4 + NdCl3 → 3 NaCl + NdAsO4↓
When crystallizing from a lead pyroarsenate flux, neodymium arsenate crystals produced explode when cooled.[4]
Neodymium arsenate also occurs in nature as a mineral, Arsenoflorencite-(Nd).[5][6]
