Description and Uses

Neodymium(III) chloride is used as a precursor for the production of neodymium metal. It is used as a catalyst and accelerates polymerization of various dienes such as polybutylene, polybutadiene, and polyisoprene. It has luminescence property and is widely used as fluorescent label in organic molecules, thereby helping in easy tracking of the compound using fluorescence microscope during various physical and chemical reactions.
