Yttrium(III) chloride hydrate

Yttrium(III) chloride hydrate acts as a source to prepare highly active and enantioselective yttrium precatalysts for asymmetric hydroamination of gem-disubstituted aminoalkenes. It is used as a precursor for the synthesis of yttrium oxide nanocrystallites. It employs in the crystal structure determination of macromolecules such as proteins.
