Product Overview
Indium(III) chloride (99.995% trace metal basis) is a high-purity, crystalline compound designed for demanding laboratory applications where trace metal contamination must be minimized. This ultra-pure grade ensures reliable results in synthesis, catalysis, and semiconductor research, where even minor impurities can compromise outcomes. The anhydrous form provides stability and consistent reactivity, making it suitable for advanced inorganic chemistry, material science, and thin-film deposition processes. Its low moisture sensitivity allows for easier handling compared to hydrated alternatives, while the trace metal certification guarantees minimal interference in analytical techniques like ICP-MS or AAS. The fine crystalline structure dissolves readily in polar solvents, facilitating uniform reaction conditions. As a Lewis acid, it exhibits strong catalytic activity in organic transformations, particularly in Friedel-Crafts reactions and polymerizations. The product is packaged under inert conditions to preserve its high purity during storage and transport, with each batch undergoing rigorous quality control to meet exacting trace metal specifications.
FAQs
1. What is the typical moisture content of this Indium(III) chloride?
The anhydrous form maintains moisture content below 0.1%, ensuring stability in moisture-sensitive applications.
2. Can this be used directly for semiconductor doping without further purification?
Yes, the 99.995% trace metal basis purity makes it suitable for direct use in semiconductor applications without additional purification steps.
3. What solvents are recommended for dissolving this compound?
It dissolves readily in water, alcohols, and polar organic solvents like DMSO or acetonitrile, though solubility varies with temperature.
4. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container under inert gas (argon/nitrogen) in a cool, dry place to prevent hydrolysis and oxidation.
5. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower purity levels?
Indium(III) chloride with 98% or 99% purity is available for less critical applications where trace metal content is less concerning.
