Preparation
Neodymium(III) hydride can be produced by directly reacting neodymium and hydrogen gas:{{cite journal | last1=Richter | first1=Bo | last2=Grinderslev | first2=Jakob B. | last3=Møller | first3=Kasper T. | last4=Paskevicius | first4=Mark | last5=Jensen | first5=Torben R. | title=From Metal Hydrides to Metal Borohydrides | journal=Inorganic Chemistry | publisher=American Chemical Society (ACS) | volume=57 | issue=17 | date=Aug 23, 2018 | issn=0020-1669 | doi=10.1021/acs.inorgchem.8b01398 | pages=10768–10780| pmid=30137973 | s2cid=52077203 }}
: 2Nd + 3H2 → 2NdH3
It can also be made by hydrogenerating neodymium(II) hydride.{{cite book |last=Fukai |first=Y. |year=2005 |title=The Metal-Hydrogen System, Basic Bulk Properties, 2d edition|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-3-540-00494-3}}
