Compounds[edit]

Oxides and chalcogenides[edit]

Holmium(III) oxide under daylight (left) and trichromatic light (right).

Holmium(III) oxide is the only oxide of holmium. It changes color changes on the lighting conditions. In daylight, it is a tannish yellow color. Under trichromatic light, it is a fiery orange red, almost indistinguishable from the way erbium oxide looks under this same lighting. This is due to the sharp emission bands of the phosphors.[1]

Other chalcogenides are known for holmium. Holmium(III) sulfide has orange-yellow crystals in the monoclinic crystal system,[2] with the space group P21/m (No. 11).[3] Under high pressure, holmium(III) sulfide can form in the cubic and orthorhombic crystal systems.[4] It can be obtained by the reaction of holmium(III) oxide and hydrogen sulfide at 1325 °C.[5] Holmium(III) selenide is also known. It is antiferromagnetic below 6 K.[6]

Halides[edit]

All four trihalides of holmium are known. Holmium(III) fluoride is a yellowish powder that can be produced by reacting holmium(III) oxide and ammonium fluoride, then crystallising it from the ammonium salt formed in solution.[7] Holmium(III) chloride can be prepared in a similar way, with ammonium chloride instead of ammonium fluoride.[8] It has the YCl3 layer structure in the solid state.[9] These compounds, as well as holmium(III) bromide and holmium(III) iodide, can be obtained by the direct reaction of the elements:[10]

2 Ho + 3 X2 → 2 HoX3

In addition, holmium(III) iodide can be obtained by the direct reaction of holmium and mercury(II) iodide, then removing the mercury by distillation.[11]
