General description

Yttrium(III) chloride is used as a precursor to synthesize yttrium-based nanomaterials such as yttrium aluminum garnet nanopowder and organometallic yttrium complexes. These materials find application in the field of catalysis, electroluminescent devices, and superconductors.

Application

  • Efficient sky-blue perovskite light-emitting diodes via photoluminescence enhancement: This study demonstrates how adding yttrium (III) chloride to a perovskite mixture enhances photoluminescence quantum efficiency, significantly improving the performance of perovskite light-emitting diodes (Wang et al., 2019).
  • Yttrium complexation and hydration in chloride-rich hydrothermal fluids: A combined study using molecular dynamics and X-ray absorption spectroscopy to understand yttrium′s complexation and hydration in chloride-rich hydrothermal environments (Guan et al., 2020).

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

Although radioactive yttrium (Y) has been used for medical treatment, little attention has been directed toward the toxicity of Y. We report time-course and dose-related changes in tissue distribution, subcellular localization, clearance, and acute toxicity of iv-injected yttrium chloride (YCl3)
