Description
Yttrium Nitrate Hexahydrate is white crystal or powder that can be employed as laboratory reagent, optical glasses, structural cermics, eletrical components, photo-optical material and reusable catalyst in Bignelli reaction for the synthesis of heterocycles such as pyrimidin-2-ones. It can also used in superconducting materials. Besides, it serves as a precursor of nanoscale coatings of carbon composites and source of yttrium is used to make yttrium-based surfactant mesophases which are promising as adsorbing agents as well as for optically functional species.
Uses
Yttrium Nitrate is applied in ceramics, glass, and electronics. High purity grades are the most important materials for tri-bands Rare Earth phosphors and Yttrium-Iron-Garnets, which are very effective microwave filters. Yttrium Nitrateis a highly water soluble crystalline Yttrium source for uses compatible with nitrates and lower (acidic) pH.

Chemical Properties
white adhering crystals or crystalline powder
Uses
It is used as a reagent, in optics, ceramics, glass and electronics. It is used in superconducting materials. It has been reported as a reusable catalyst in Bignelli reaction for the synthesis of heterocycles such as pyrimidin-2-ones. It is a powerful catalyst for the synthesis of some supramolecules such as calix[4]resorcinarenes, 1,8-dioxooctahydroxanthenes, 2-amino-4H-chromenes, and several other organic condensation products.
