Croat, J.J., 1969, The preparation of high purity dysprosium, holmium and erbium by the lithium reduction of their trichloride salts. Report No. lS-T-346 from Ames Laboratory - ERDA, Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa 50011. 

A study (Loktyushina et al., 1984) of the vibrational spectra of the products of reaction of atomic Eu, Gd, Ho, and Yb with CI2 showed them to contain RCI2 and RCI3 molecules. Lanthanide dichloride molecules were predominantly formed in reactions with Eu and Yb. The formation of trichloride was characteristic of Gd. The reaction of holmium with chlorine might go in either direction depending on the initial conditions. Indeed, it was shown by Loktyushina et al. (1987) that the bands corresponding to holmium mono- and dichlorides were absent in the IR spectrum of H0CI3.
