Organoyttrium chemistry

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.

Organoytrium compounds are often prepared by alkylation of YCl3.
