Chemical compound

Thulium(III) nitrate is an inorganic compound, a salt of thulium and nitric acid with the chemical formula Tm(NO3)3.[1][2][3] The compound forms dark-green crystals, readily soluble in water, also forms crystalline hydrates.

## Synthesis

[edit]

Reaction of thulium and nitric acid:[4]

Tm + 6 HNO3 → Tm(NO3)3 \+ 3 NO2 \+ 3 H2O

Reaction of thulium hydroxide and nitric acid:

Tm(OH)3 \+ 3 HNO3 → Tm(NO3)3 \+ 3 H2O

## Physical properties

[edit]

Thulium(III) nitrate forms dark-green hygroscopic crystals.

Forms crystalline hydrates of the composition Tm(NO3)3*5H2O.[5][6]

Soluble in water and ethanol.[7]

## Chemical properties

[edit]

Both the compound and its crystalline hydrate decompose on moderate heating.

Hydrated thulium nitrate thermally decomposes to form TmONO3 and decomposes to thulium oxide upon further heating.

## Applications

[edit]

Thulium(III) nitrate hydrate is used as a reagent. Also used in optical glasses, ceramics, catalysts, electrical components, and photo-optical materials.[8]
