Procedure

Forty (40) g of neodymium oxide, 220 g of octanoic acid and 220 g of water were mixed. The resultant mixture in the form of suspension was stireed as refluxed at 85° C. for three hours and cooled. The resultant reaction mixture was left standing at rest and separated into a water phase and an organic phase. The organic phase was poured into acetone of a volume about 20 times as large. The salt consequently precipitated therein was washed with acetone and was dried under a vacuum, to afford neodymium octanoate monohydrate. The yield was 92%.
