The electrical conductivities of molten NdCl{sub 3}-KCl, NdCl{sub 3}-NaCl, and NdCl{sub 3}-CaCl{sub 2} solutions were measured by means of a conventional ac technique. The conductivities were well represented as quadratic functions of temperature. The equivalent conductivities were derived and were represented well by an Arrhenius-type function of temperatures. In this paper electrical conduction in these melts is discussed on the basis of octahedral complex formation and clustering.
