Indium(I) halides, InX (X = Cl, Br, I), react with haloforms, CHX3, to give X2InCHX2 derivatives. Treatment of the latter with (C2H5)4N+X- gives the 1:1 electrolytes [(C2H5)4N][X3-InCHX2], but with neutral ligands L (L = dimethylsulfoxide (dmso), 1,1,3,3-tetramethyl-2-thiourea (tmtu), triphenylphosphine), the products were the adducts of the corresponding indium trihalide, InX3Ln (X = Cl, L = tmtu, n = 2; X = Cl, L = Ph3P, n = 2; X = Cl, L = dmso, n = 3; X = Br, L = dmso, n = 3; X = I, L = Ph3P, n = 2: X = I, L = tmtu, n = 1). [(C2H5)4N][X3InCHX2] (X = Br, I) reacts with InX to give, after the addition of (C2H5)4NX, the salts [(C2H5)4N]2[X 3InCHXInX3].
