Some neodymium dissolving into acetic acid to form neodymium(III) acetate.

Neodymium(III) acetate is an inorganic salt composed of a neodymium atom trication and three acetate groups as anions where neodymium exhibits the +3 oxidation state.[2] It has a chemical formula of Nd(CH3COO)3 although it can be informally referred to as NdAc because Ac is an informal symbol for acetate.[8] It commonly occurs as a light purple powder.[1][2]
