F. Chehimi-moumen et al., Synthesis and thermal behavior of the hydrogen praseodymium diphosphate (HPrP2O7 center dot 3H(2)O), J THERM ANA, 65(1), 2001, pp. 87-92
The preparation of a new acid lanthanide diphosphate is reported. The acid
praseodymium diphosphate, obtained as a trihydrate salt, is investigated by
chemical analysis, X-ray powder diffraction and IR spectroscopy. The study
of the thermal behavior of HPrP2O7. 3H(2)O shows that its dehydration begi
ns at 367 K. A scheme of its decomposition is proposed.
