Abstract

By hydrothermal reaction of In2O3 with H2C2O4·2H2O in the presence of H3BO3 at 155°C, an open-framework three-dimensional indium oxalate of formula [In(OH)(C2O4)(H2O)]3·H2O (1) has been obtained. The compound crystallizes in the trigonal system, space group R3c with a=18.668(3)Å, c=7.953(2)Å, V=2400.3(7)Å3, Z=6, R1=0.0352 at 298K. The small pores in 1 are filled with water molecules. It loses its filled water at about 180°C without the change of structure, then the bounded water at 260°C, and completely decompounds at 324°C. The residue is confirmed to be In2O3.
