Precautions

  1. Tris(methylcyclopentadienyl) yttrium must be stored in a sealed container filled with a high-purity inert gas (such as argon) in a cool, dry, and dark environment. Storage at room temperature or under refrigeration is recommended.

  2. Since Y(MeCp)3 belongs to an organometallic ligand structure, there may be a risk of flammability or decomposition, and high-temperature fire sources and strong oxidizing environments should be avoided.

  3. It is strictly forbidden to contact with strong oxidants, acids, water, alcohols and any other substances containing active hydrogen or highly reactive substances to prevent violent exothermic reactions, combustion or even explosion.

  4. As sensitive chemicals (easily affected by moisture and air) and organic metals, the corresponding dangerous goods classification, packaging and labeling regulations should be followed during transportation.

FAQ

1. What are the advantages and limitations of tris(methylcyclopentadienyl) yttrium compared to other yttrium precursors?

Compared to other yttrium precursors, Y(MeCp)3 offers advantages in vapor pressure and film growth rate. However, its film deposition temperature window may be narrower, and its thermal stability may be lower than that of some ligand systems.


2. Can it still be used if exposed to air or moisture?

Exposed to moisture or air, or after absorbing moisture, its performance may be impaired (e.g., decreased vapor pressure, uneven film formation, inclusion of impurities, etc.). It is recommended to verify its appearance and purity before use, and repurify or replace it if necessary.
