Praseodymium arsenide is a binary inorganic compound of praseodymium and arsenic with the formula PrAs.

Preparation[edit]

Praseodymium arsenide can be prepared by heating praseodymium and arsenic:

{\mathsf {Pr+As\ {\xrightarrow {T}}\ PrAs}}

Praseodymium arsenide forms cubic crystals, space group F m3m, cell parameters a = 0.6009 nm, Z = 4, and structure like sodium chloride.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4] When heated, it decomposes into arsenic and Pr₄As₃.^[2] At a pressure of 27 GPa, a phase transition to the tetragonal crystal system occurs.^[5]
