InCl can be prepared by heating indium metal with indium trichloride in a sealed tube. [3] [4] According to X-ray crystallography, the structure of the yellow polymorph resembles that of sodium chloride except that the Cl-In-Cl angles are not 90°, but range between 71 and 130°. The red (high T) polymorph crystallizes in the thallium(I) iodide ...
The stable indium isotope, indium-113, is one of the p-nuclei, the origin of which is not fully understood; although indium-113 is known to be made directly in the s- and r-processes (rapid neutron capture), and also as the daughter of very long-lived cadmium-113, which has a half-life of about eight quadrillion years, this cannot account for ...
Numerous investigations have found an explanation for this effect. The oxygens of the carbonyl and the hydroxyl group chelate the indium of the organoindium intermediate as illustrated below on the left by the two green bonds. The incipient C-C bond, illustrated in red, creates a six-member ring in a chair conformation.
There are three sets of Indium halides, the trihalides, the monohalides, and several intermediate halides. In the monohalides the oxidation state of indium is +1 and their proper names are indium(I) fluoride, indium(I) chloride, indium(I) bromide and indium(I) iodide. The intermediate halides contain indium with oxidation states, +1, +2 and +3.
Indium(III) iodide is a pale yellow, very hygroscopic monoclinic solid (space group P2 1 /c (space group no. 14), a = 9.837 Å, b = 6.102 Å, c = 12.195 Å, β = 107.69°), [3] which melts at 210 °C to form a dark brown liquid and is highly soluble in water.
Indium(II) selenide can be formed via a number of different methods. A method to make the bulk solid is the Bridgman/Stockbarger method, in which the elements indium and selenium are heated to over 900 °C in a sealed capsule, and then slowly cooled over about a month. [4]
There are a lot of compounds, the reason for this being that indium can be present as In 3+, oxidation state +3; In +, oxidation state +1; In 4+ 2 units, oxidation state of +2, also found in some indium halides, e.g.
Indium(II) chloride was first reported to be produced in 1888 by Lars Fredrik Nilson who claimed to have produced indium(II) chloride from the reaction of indium metal and hydrogen chloride gas at 200 °C. [1] However, this has been called into doubt as characterization by X-ray diffraction and NMR failed.
