Synthesis

Anhydrous salt is obtained by the action of nitrogen dioxide on holmium(III) oxide:

::\mathsf{2Ho_2O_3 + 9N_2O_4 \ \xrightarrow{150^oC}\ 4Ho(NO_3)_3 + 6NO }

Effect of nitrogen dioxide on metallic holmium:

::\mathsf{Ho + 3N_2O_4 \ \xrightarrow{200^oC}\ Ho(NO_3)_3 + 3NO }

Reaction of holmium hydroxide and nitric acid:

::\mathsf{Ho(OH)_3 + 3NHO_3 \ \xrightarrow{150^oC}\ Ho(NO_3)_3 + 3H_2O }

Physical properties

Holmium(III) nitrate forms yellowish crystals.

Forms a crystalline hydrate of the composition Ho(NO3)3•5H2O.{{cite web |title=Holmium(III) nitrate pentahydrate |url=https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/RU/ru/product/aldrich/325732 |publisher=Sigma Aldrich |access-date=18 August 2021}}

Soluble in water and ethanol.

==Chemical properties==

Hydrated holmitic nitrate thermally decomposes to form {{chem|Ho|O|N|O|3}} and decomposes to holmium oxide upon subsequent heating.

Application

The compound is used for the production of ceramics and glass.

Also used to produce metallic holmium and as a chemical reagent.
