The coordination chemistry of yttrium and lanthanides is important. An increase in the number of studies devoted to the rare earth coordination compounds has been observed in recent years due to their potential applications in both the fundamental and applied science, such as organic synthesis, bioorganic chemistry, and homogeneous catalysis. Because of high selectivity toward metal ions, crown ethers have always gained attention and have been studied in coordination chemistry. The complexation reaction of yttrium with crown ethers is studied in this work. The preparation, characterization, and the structures of yttrium isothiocyanate with different crown ethers will be reported and discussed.
