Usage

Description

Indium chloride is a useful catalyst for aqueous organic reactions including C-C bond formation, aldol reaction, Friedel-Crafts acylation, Diels-Alder reaction and reduction1-4. It is an efficient, mild, Lewis acid for organic synthesis. It is an efficient catalyst for thioacetalization and its chemoselectivity. It can also catalyze the enantioselective ring-opening of meso-aziridines with thiols. Moreover, it can act as a highly efficient catalyst in water for the preparation of furyl glycosides.

Chemical Properties

white crystalline powder

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 10025-82-8 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Catalyzes the enantioselective ring-opening of meso-aziridines with thiols.1,2 A highly efficient catalyst in water for the preparation of furyl glycosides.3
2. In electroplating using a solution of the salt with dextrose and NaCN. This solution is stable, though it turns dark on standing and deposits a mud which, however, contains no indium.
3. Indium(III) chloride is used as catalyst for aqueous organic reactions including C-C bond formation, aldol reactions, and reductions and for organic synthesis.

General Description

Indium(III) chloride (InCl3) is an indium halide that is a Lewis acid in a variety of organic reactions.

Purification Methods

The anhydrous salt forms yellow deliquescent crystals which can be sublimed at 600o in the presence of Cl2/N2 (1:1) [does not melt]. It is resublimed in the presence of Cl2/N2 (1:10) and finally heated to 150o to expel excess Cl2. It is soluble in H2O and should be stored in a tightly closed container.

Stepwise introduction of thiolates in copper-indium binuclear complexes

We report the synthesis and characterization of copper-indium binuclear I-III complexes composing the series (Ph3P)2CuIn(SEt) xCl4-x (1-5; 0 ≤ x ≤ 4). Members of the series, which are prepared by variations in t

Effect of Cu/In molar ratio on the microstructural and optical properties of microcrystalline CuInS2 prepared by solvothermal route

Synthesis and characterization of CuInS2 powder sample prepared by a simple and convenient solvothermal method is reported. The influence of the variation of Cu/In molar ratio from 0.69 to 1.25 on the particle morphology, crystal structure and optical properties of CuInS2 samples was studied. The X-ray diffraction studies indicated that the samples were polycrystalline in nature. SEM images of the samples revealed that the copper-rich products were uniform microspheres with smooth surfaces, whereas microspheres formed by network of interconnected flakes were obtained for indium-rich products. The optical band gaps (Eg) of the products decreased from 1.60 to 1.43 eV with variation of Cu/In molar ratio. The variation of the Urbach tail width with Cu/In molar ratio indicated that the density of the defects is much higher for the indium-rich CuInS2, which was clearly revealed from Raman measurements.

The thermodynamic characteristics of ion exchange in a sulfonated polymer based on cis-tetraphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene

The selectivity and thermodynamic characteristics of exchange of protons in SO3H groups of a sulfonated network polymer based on cis-tetraphenylcalix[4]resorcinarene for Na+, Cu2+, and In3+ cations from aqueous solutions are considered. Semiempirical quantum-chemical calculations of molecular ensembles modeling the structure of the elementary polymer unit in the H and Na forms were performed. The experimental data on the equilibrium phase compositions and the heat of exchange were used to calculate the thermodynamic equilibrium constants, Gibbs energy, enthalpy, and entropy of ion exchange.

Characterization of nano-InVO4 powders synthesized by the hydrothermal process on various In/V molar ratio and soaking conditions
