Yttrium (III) chloride hexahydrate by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This inorganic compound is a derived from yttrium and chloride. It is available as a white powder which is soluble in water. Yttrium chloride can be prepared using ammonium chloride. Treating yttrium chloride with aqueous HCl produces the hydrated chloride. The compound is stable under general conditions, however, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. It is deliquescent in nature. CAS No. 10025-94-2 Quantity Provided: 100 gm per bottle Molecular formula: (CH3CO2)3Y6H2O Molecular weight: 303.36 Assay: 99 %Yttrium (III) chloride has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It finds applications in the organic synthesis of various derivatives. Yttrium (III) chloride acts as a source to prepare highly active and enantioselective yttrium pre-catalysts, which are used for the asymmetric hydro-amination of gem-disubstituted aminoalkenes. It is furthermore used as a precursor for the synthesis of yttrium oxide nanocrystallites. It is also employed in the crystal structure determination of macromolecules such as proteins. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
