Praseodymium Oxide

Praseodymium oxide is a member of the family of compounds formed by the rare-earth metal praseodymium and oxygen. It appears in several stoichiometries, most commonly as Pr6O11 (a mixed-valence oxide) and Pr2O3, and combines interesting magnetism, optical behavior and chemical reactivity that make it valuable across a range of modern technologies. This article examines where praseodymium oxide is found in…
