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).

The emergence of the technology-critical-element yttrium as a contaminant in the environment raises concern regarding its toxicological impact on living organisms. The molecular mechanisms underlying yttrium toxicity must be delineated. We considered the genomic phenotyping of a mutant collection of

Negatively charged globular proteins in solution undergo a condensation upon adding trivalent counterions between two critical concentrations C and C, C <C. This reentrant condensation behavior above C is caused by short-ranged electrostatic interactions between multivalent cations and acidic residues
