Abstract: The equilibrium solubility of the quaternary system NdCl3-CdCl2-HCl-H2O was determined at 298.15 K and the corresponding equilibrium diagram was constructed. The result shows that the quaternary system was complicated with four equilibrium solid phases CdCl2•H2O, 9CdCl2•NdCl3•20H2O (9:1 type), 5CdCl2•NdCl3•13H2O (5:1 type) and NdCl3•6H2O. The two new compounds, 9CdCl2•NdCl3•20H2O and 5CdCl2•NdCl3•13H2O, have not yet been reported in literatures, and they were congruently soluble in the quaternary. The two new compounds have been prepared from the system and characterized by XRD, TG-DTG, and fluorescence (FL) spectra. Result of FL spectra showed that the 9CdCl2•NdCl3•20H2O has weak fluorescence intensity, and 5CdCl2•NdCl3•13H2O exhibited larger fluorescence intensity than 9CdCl2•NdCl3•20H2O. X-ray powder diffraction patterns were indexed.
