Anhydrous salt is obtained by the action of nitrogen dioxide on dysprosium(III) oxide:[3]
The action of nitrogen dioxide on metallic dysprosium:
Dysprosium(III) nitrate forms yellowish crystals.[4]
Forms a crystalline hydrate of the composition , which melts in its own crystallization water at 88.6 °C.[5][6]
Soluble in water and ethanol, hygroscopic.
Hydrated dysprosium nitrate thermally decomposes to form , and further heating produces dysprosium oxide.
Dysprosium(III) nitrate is used as a catalyst.
