Pure samples of other lanthanide chlorides can be made in similar fashion. </p> <div class="adsense_responsive"><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>  <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-9334432533380510" data-ad-slot="4479092381" data-ad-format="auto"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div> <h2 class="f">Solid state structure</h2> <ul> <li><strong>Geometry of neodymium: </strong>9 coordinate: tricapped trigonal prismatic</li> <li><strong>Prototypical structure: </strong></li> </ul> <p><img class="pure-img" src="../../_media/compounds/Nd/Cl3Nd1-10024938.jpg" alt="Crystal structure of neodymium trichloride" /></p> <h2 class="f">Element analysis</h2> <p>The table shows element percentages for NdCl<sub>3</sub> (neodymium trichloride).</p> <table class="pure-table pure-table-bordered"> <thead> <tr> <th>Element</th> <th>%</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr><td> Cl</td> <td> 42.44</td> </tr> <tr><td> Nd</td> <td> 57.56</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <h2 class="f">Isotope pattern for NdCl<sub>3</sub></h2> <p>The chart below shows the calculated isotope pattern for the formula <strong>NdCl<sub>3</sub></strong> with the most intense ion set to 100%.</p> <script> $(function () { $('#containerneodymium_trichloride').highcharts( { chart: {type: 'column' }, title: {text: 'NdCl<sub>3</sub> isotope pattern', useHTML: true }, credits: {text: 'www.webelements.com', href: 'https://www.webelements.com/' }, legend: {enabled: false}, xAxis: {categories: [ 247,248,249,250,251,252,253,254,255,256,257,258,259,260,261 ] }, yAxis: {min: 0, max: 100, title: {text: 'Relative abundance/%'}}, tooltip: { headerFormat: '<span style="font-size:9px">{point.key}</span><table>', pointFormat: '<tr><td style="color:{series.color};padding:0">{series.name}: </td>' + '<td style="padding:0"><strong>{point.y:.1f} %</strong></td></tr>', footerFormat: '</table>', shared: true, useHTML: true }, plotOptions: {column: {pointPadding: 0.2, borderWidth: 0 } }, series: [{ name: 'NdCl<sub>3</sub>', data: [ 54.4,24.4,100.0,40.1,97.0,23.5,61.1,5.9,34.6,0.5,15.5,0.0,3.9,0.0,0.4 ] }] }, function (chart) { // on complete chart.renderer.image('../../_media/icons/logo_60.png', 20, 10, 27, 15) .add(); }); }); </script> <div id="containerneodymium_trichloride" style="width:100%; height:300px;"></div> <h3 class="f">References</h3> <p>The data on these compounds pages are assembled and adapted from the primary literature and several other sources including the following.</p> <ul> <li>R.T.
