Organoyttrium chemistry
Study of chemical compounds containing yttrium-carbon bonds
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Organoyttrium chemistry is the study of compounds containing carbon-yttrium bonds. These compounds are almost invariably formal Y3+ derivatives, are generally diamagnetic and colorless, a consequence of the closed-shell configuration of the trication.[2] Organoyttrium compounds are mainly of academic interest.
Organoyttrium compounds are often prepared by alkylation of YCl
