Neodymium(II) fluoride explained

Neodymium(II) fluoride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula NdF₂. It can be obtained by shock compression of neodymium(III) fluoride and neodymium at 1000 °C and above 200 kbar.^[1] It can also be obtained by reacting in a eutectic system of neodymium and lithium fluoride-neodymium(III) fluoride at 1100 °C.^[2]
