Application

  • Yttrium(III) chloride hexahydrate: This compound is extensively used in the synthesis of yttrium-based materials, including phosphors and ceramics. It acts as a precursor for yttrium iron garnets, crucial components in electronic and optical devices due to their magnetic properties. Additionally, its use in catalysis and materials science research is notable, especially where high purity yttrium is required (Sigma-Aldrich, CAS 10025-94-2).
