Praseodymium(III) chloride is a moderately strong Lewis acid, which ranks as "hard" according to the Hard-Soft Acid-Base theory. Rapid heating of the hydrate may cause small amounts of hydrolysis [1]. In chemistry, a Lewis acid is any acid that can accept a pair of electrons and form a coordinate covalent bond, after the American chemist Gilbert Lewis. ... Hydrates are compounds formed by the union of water with some other substance, generally forming a neutral body, as certain crystallized salts. ... Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which a molecule is cleaved into two parts by the addition of a molecule of water. ...


Preparation

Aqueous solutions of praseodymium(III) chloride can be used to prepare insoluble praseodymium(III) compounds, for example praseodymium(III) phosphate or praseodymium(III) fluoride:

Anhydrous PrCl3 can be made by dehydration of the hydrate either by slowly heating to 400 °C with 4-6 equivalents of ammonium chloride under high vacuum[1],[4], or by heating with an excess of thionyl chloride for four hours[1],[5]. The anhydrous halide may alternatively be prepared from praseodymium metal and hydrogen chloride [6]. It is usually purified by high temperature sublimation under high vacuum.
