What is YTTRIUM(III) ISOPROPOXIDE?

The Uses of YTTRIUM(III) ISOPROPOXIDE

Yttrium(III) isopropoxide is used in asymmetric catalysis applications. It acts as a catalyst for stereoselective conjugate addition reactions and ring-opening polymerizations. It serves as a precursor for the generation of reactive enolates by enantioselective protonation reactions and nanocomposites synthesis. Further, it is used in the preparation of flat hafnium(IV) oxide films. In addition to this, it is used to improve the thermal conductivity of polycrystalline aluminum nitride (AlN) ceramics.
