Dysprosium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt of dysprosium and nitric acid with the chemical formula Dy(NO₃)₃. The compound forms yellowish crystals, dissolves in water, forms a crystalline hydrate.^[2]

Synthesis

Anhydrous salt is obtained by the action of nitrogen dioxide on dysprosium(III) oxide:^[3]

${\displaystyle {\mathsf {2Dy_{2}O_{3}+9N_{2}O_{4}\ {\xrightarrow {150^{o}C}}\ 4Dy(NO_{3})_{3}+6NO}}}$

The action of nitrogen dioxide on metallic dysprosium:

${\displaystyle {\mathsf {Dy+3N_{2}O_{4}\ {\xrightarrow {200^{o}C}}\ Dy(NO_{3})_{3}+3NO}}}$

Physical properties

Dysprosium(III) nitrate forms yellowish crystals.^[4]

Forms a crystalline hydrate of the composition ${\displaystyle {\ce {Dy(NO3)3*5H2O}}}$, which melts in its own
