Scandium(III) hydroxide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Sc(OH)
3
, the trivalent hydroxide of scandium. It is an amphoteric compound.[2] It is slightly soluble in water, and its saturated solution (pH = 7.85) contains Sc(OH)
3
and a small amount of Sc(OH)+
2
. The solubility of scandium(III) hydroxide in water is 0.0279 mol/L. It will convert to ScO(OH) after aging, greatly reducing the solubility (0.0008 mol/L).[3] Scandium(III) hydroxide can be produced by reacting scandium salts and alkali hydroxides.[4] In the reaction, different starting ingredients can generate different intermediates such as Sc(OH)
