“…Indeed, pK^io calculated from Information given in [64] for other REE (Pr, Sm, Gd) and Y-hydroxides [32] also differ for up to more than 2 log Units from bulk of the literature data, suggesting a systematic error in [64] for all REE except La. The average of other pKJio values for freshly precipitated Nd(0H)3(s) (23.91 [54], 22.69 [62], 22.49 [63], 23.92 [70], 23.06 [71], and 23.97 [72]) yielded pK^io = 23.34 ± 0.55 (2 ct"_, of average). Two solubility studies performed on well crystalline Nd(0H)3(s) yielded nearly the same pKJio value of 26.0 [11] and 26.29 [73], which are consistent with the value of 25.65 for aged precipitated Nd(0H)3(s) from [24,74], but not with the value of 23.89 given by Akselrud [19], also for aged precipitated Nd hydroxide.…”
