Used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in selective oxidation and polymerization reactions. Employed in the preparation of scandium-doped materials for solid oxide fuel cells due to its thermal stability and ionic conductivity. Serves as a precursor in the synthesis of scandium-containing ceramics and luminescent compounds. Applied in research for developing new coordination complexes with potential use in pharmaceuticals and imaging agents. Also utilized in the electronics industry for thin-film deposition processes.
