Praseodymium(III) phosphate hemihydrate can be obtained by reacting praseodymium chloride and phosphoric acid:[2]
It can also be produced by reacting silicon pyrophosphate (SiP2O7) and praseodymium(III,IV) oxide (Pr6O11) at 1200 °C.[3]
Praseodymium(III) phosphate forms light green crystals in the monoclinic crystal system, with space group P21/n and cell parameters a = 0.676 nm, b = 0.695 nm, c = 0.641 nm, β = 103.25°, Z = 4.[4][5]
It forms a crystal hydrate of the composition PrPO4·nH2O, where n < 0.5, with light green crystals of hexagonal crystal system, space group P6222, and cell parameters a = 0.700 nm, c = 0.643 nm, Z = 3.[6][7]
Praseodymium(III) phosphate reacts with sodium fluoride to obtain Na2PrF2(PO4).[8]
