Abstract

A number of adducts of InCl 3 with selected Lewis bases have been synthesized and characterized. The complex of InCl 3 with 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME  CH 3OCH 2CH 2OCH 3) is characterized by two centrosymmetrically related InCl 3·DME·0.5DME units, where the indium is six-coordinated to three chlorine atoms, two oxygen atoms of one chelating DME unit and one oxygen atom of the bridging DME ligand in a fac-octahedral arrangement. The suitability and limits of using InCl 3·3/2DME for the synthesis of InMe 3 (Me  CH 3) are discussed.
