This invention provides a method for preparing
tris(methylcyclopentadienyl)
yttrium. This method can efficiently remove key impurities, simplifying the process while effectively improving the purity and yield of
tris(methylcyclopentadienyl)
yttrium. The preparation method includes the following steps: S1, under an
inert atmosphere,
methylcyclopentadiene and a bis(
trimethylsilyl)amino
potassium salt solution are mixed at a temperature ≤30°C, and then the temperature is raised to 75-85°C for reaction; after the reaction, the mixture is filtered under reduced pressure to obtain a cyclopentadienyl
potassium salt intermediate; S2, under an
inert atmosphere,
yttrium trichloride and the cyclopentadienyl
potassium salt intermediate are mixed in the presence of a
solvent, and then the temperature is raised for reaction; after the reaction, the mixture is filtered, the filtrate is collected, and the filtrate is concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product; S3, the crude product is pretreated by reduced pressure
distillation to obtain a pretreated product; then, it is sublimated under vacuum to obtain the
tris(methylcyclopentadienyl)yttrium.
