Praseodymium oxychloride or praseodymium oxide chloride is an inorganic compound of praseodymium, oxygen, and chlorine with the chemical formula PrOCl.

Synthesis

[edit]

PrOCl can be synthesized by reacting praseodymium oxides (Pr2O3 or Pr6O11) with chlorine gas (Cl2).[1]

Physical properties

[edit]

The compound forms crystals of tetragonal system, space group P4/nmm.[2][3]
