Neodymium arsenate, also known as neodymium(III) arsenate, is the arsenate of neodymium with the chemical formula of NdAsO₄. In this compound, neodymium exhibits the +3 oxidation state. It has good thermal stability, and its pK_sp,c is 21.86±0.11.^[2]

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↓
