Used as a precursor in chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes to produce scandium-containing thin films and coatings. These films are applied in semiconductor manufacturing and advanced optical devices due to their favorable dielectric and reflective properties.

Also employed in the synthesis of catalysts for polymerization reactions, particularly in the production of high-performance polyolefins.

Its volatility and thermal stability make it suitable for doping materials in solid oxide fuel cells and in the development of luminescent materials for display technologies.

Additionally, it serves as a reagent in research settings for the controlled introduction of scandium into complex inorganic and organometallic systems.
