Yttrium triacetate(CAS: 23363-14-6)

Yttrium triacetate is a chemical compound with the formula Y(C2H3O2)3. It is a water-soluble salt of yttrium and acetic acid, known for its pale yellow color. This compound is used in various applications such as catalysts, pigments, and as a yttrium source in organic synthesis.

Yttrium triacetate is primarily used as a precursor in the synthesis of yttrium-containing compounds, in the production of pigments, and as a catalyst in organic reactions. It is also utilized in the pharmaceutical industry for certain yttrium-containing formulations.

Yttrium triacetate is generally considered safe for most industrial and laboratory uses when handled with proper precautions. However, it is important to avoid inhalation and ingestion. Protective measures include the use of gloves and appropriate respiratory protection. Ensure good ventilation and store away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

Yttrium triacetate should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from heat and direct sunlight. It should be kept in tightly sealed containers to prevent moisture absorption. The storage temperature should not exceed 30°C (86°F) to maintain its stability and purity.
