Neodymium nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Nd(NO₃)₃. It decomposes to NdONO₃ at elevated temperature.^[1] This water soluble salt finds use in fabrication of perovskite based solid oxide fuel cells, synthesis of Nd³⁺ doped vanadium pentoxide nanostructure for potential usage in supercapacitors and as a catalyst for Friedlander synthesis of surface modified quinolones for application in medicinal chemistry.
