Indium chloride

Description:
Indium chloride, with the CAS number 12672-70-7, is an inorganic compound composed of indium and chlorine. It typically appears as a white or yellowish solid and is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. Indium chloride exists primarily in two forms: the anhydrous form (InCl3) and the hydrated form (InCl3·xH2O), with the latter being more common in laboratory settings. It is soluble in water and polar solvents, which allows it to participate in various chemical reactions. Indium chloride is often used as a precursor in the synthesis of indium-based compounds, in semiconductor manufacturing, and in the production of indium oxide for electronics. Additionally, it can act as a Lewis acid in organic synthesis, facilitating various reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling indium chloride, as it can be irritating to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Proper storage in a cool, dry place is recommended to prevent degradation and moisture absorption.
