Description

Yttrium(III) Isopropoxide is a highly reactive metal-organic compound primarily used as a precursor in advanced materials synthesis. Its value lies in delivering high-purity yttrium for the production of specialty ceramics, thin films, and catalysts. This product is essential for manufacturers and research institutions in the electronics, optics, and chemical synthesis sectors seeking reliable, high-quality metal alkoxide sources.

Application

• Sol-Gel Processing: A key precursor for synthesizing yttrium oxide (Y₂O₃) nanoparticles, thin films, and transparent ceramics via sol-gel routes.
• Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) & Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD): Used as a volatile yttrium source for depositing high-k dielectric films (e.g., Y₂O₃) in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Catalyst Synthesis: Serves as a catalyst or catalyst precursor in organic transformations, including polymerization and cross-coupling reactions.
• Phosphor and Optical Material Production: A starting material for manufacturing yttrium-based phosphors (e.g., YAG:Ce for LEDs) and other advanced optical materials.
• Specialty Glass and Ceramics: Used to introduce yttrium into glass formulations to improve refractive index, chemical durability, and thermal properties.
• Research & Development: A critical reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new materials in superconductivity, catalysis, and nanotechnology.

Quality Control

Our Yttrium(III) Isopropoxide is produced and handled under stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques, including Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) and Karl Fischer titration, to verify metal content and control critical impurities like moisture. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Due to its highly hygroscopic and easily oxidized nature, this material must be stored under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) in a cool, dry place. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability. The container should be kept sealed and only opened in a moisture-free environment, such as a glovebox, to prevent degradation.
