Indium acetate is an acetate of indium, with the chemical formula In(CH3COO)3. It is soluble in water, acetic acid and mineral acids. [1] It is the precursor of indium-containing compounds such as the solar cell materials CuInS2 [2] and indium phosphide quantum dots. [3]

Preparation

Indium acetate can be prepared by reacting indium [4] or triethylindium [5] with frozen acetic acid.

Chemical properties

Indium acetate can react with propionic acid: [4]

In(CH3COO)3 + CH3CH2COOH → In(CH3COO)2(CH3CH2COO) + CH3COOH
