General description

Indium(III) chloride tetrahydrate is a Lewisacid widely used as a catalyst for various organic transformationssuch as Friedel-Crafts acylation and aldolcondensation. It is also used as a precursor to prepare indium-based thin filmsfor solar cells.

Application

Indium(III) chloride tetrahydrate can be used:
  • As a catalyst for the stereoselective synthesis of highly substituted 4-Piperidones via double Mannich reaction.
  • To fabricate In2S3 thin films that act as buffer layers for inverted organic photovoltaic cells.
  • As a precursor to prepare ZnO/CuInS2 nanocomposite with photocatalytic activity.
  • To fabricate Indium tin oxide(ITO) thin films for various applicationssuch as gas sensors, solar cells, and conductive inks.
