CAS 7783-52-0: Indium fluoride (InF3)

Indium(III) fluoride is used in the preparation of non-oxide glasses. It acts as a catalyst in the reaction of trimethylsilyl cyanide (TMSCN) to aldehydes to get cyanohydrins. It play a vital role as a catalyst in organic synthesis to prepare fluorine containing 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles and polysubstituted pyrroles.

Indium trifluoride, anhydrous

Indium(III) fluoride is an inorganic compound that is a polyhedron of the orthophosphoric acid anion. It has a crystalline structure with hydrogen bonding between molecules and polyhedral units, which results in a high melting point. Indium(III) fluoride has been used to synthesize imidazole derivatives, such as 2-methylindenyl fluoride, by reacting it with ammonia or methyl amines. The compound shows fluorescence and proton NMR spectra and has been used as a molecular probe for hydrogen bonds. Indium(III) fluoride is also centrosymmetric.

Indium(III) fluoride, anhydrous, 98%

Indium(III) fluoride is employed in the synthesis of non-oxide glasses. It promotes chemoselective addition of TMSCN to aldehydes forming the respective cyanohydrins.
