Tracking categories (test):
Triethylindium is an organometallic compound. Its chemical formula is C6H15In.[1][2]
Synthesis
This compound can be obtained by reacting indium(III) chloride with a diethyl ether solution of ethyl magnesium chloride:
- InCl3 + 3 C2H5MgCl → In(C2H5)3 + 3 MgCl2
Other routes are also known.[3]
Properties
Indium triethyl is a colorless, toxic, oxidation and hydrolysis-sensitive liquid. It is a monomer in the gaseous and dissolved state. The compound reacts with halomethanes to form diethyl indium halides.[4]
Triethylindium is highly reactive with water:
- In(C2H5)3 + H2O → In(C2H5)2OH + C2H6↑
Applications
Indium triethyl is used to prepare indium phosphide layers for microelectronics.[5]
