Effect of nitrogen dioxide on metallic holmium:

Reaction of holmium hydroxide and nitric acid:

Physical properties

Holmium(III) nitrate forms yellowish crystals.

Forms a crystalline hydrate of the composition Ho(NO3)3•5H2O.[3]

Soluble in water and ethanol.

Chemical properties

Hydrated holmitic nitrate thermally decomposes to form HoONO
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.
