INDIUM SULFATE

INDIUM SULFATE

CAS NO: 13464-82-9
EC/LIST NO.: 236-689-1

Indium sulfate (In2(SO4)3) is a sulfate salt of the metal indium. 
Indium sulfate is a sesquisulfate, meaning that the sulfate group occurs 11/2 times as much as the metal. 
Indium sulfate may be formed by the reaction of indium, its oxide, or its carbonate with sulfuric acid. 
An excess of strong acid is required, otherwise insoluble basic salts are formed.
As a solid indium sulfate can be anhydrous, or take the form of a pentahydrate with five water molecules or a nonahydrate with nine molecules of water. 
Indium sulfate is used in the production of indium or indium containing substances. 
Indium sulfate also can be found in basic salts, acidic salts or double salts including indium alum.


Indium Sulfate is a moderately water and acid soluble Indium source for uses compatible with sulfates. 
Sulfate compounds are salts or esters of sulfuric acid formed by replacing one or both of the hydrogens with a metal. 
Most metal sulfate compounds are readily soluble in water for uses such as water treatment, unlike fluorides and oxides which tend to be insoluble. 
Organometallic forms are soluble in organic solutions and sometimes in both aqueous and organic solutions. 
Metallic ions can also be dispersed utilizing suspended or coated nanoparticles and deposited utilizing sputtering targets and evaporation materials for uses such as solar cells and fuel cells. 
Indium Sulfate is generally immediately available in most volumes. 
Ultra high purity, high purity, submicron and nanopowder forms may be considered. 
We also produce Indium Sulfate Solution. 
American Elements produces to many standard grades when applicable, including Mil Spec (military grade); ACS, Reagent and Technical Grade; Food, Agricultural and Pharmaceutical Grade; Optical Grade, USP and EP/BP (European Pharmacopoeia/British Pharmacopoeia) and follows applicable ASTM testing standards. 
Typical and custom packaging is available. 
Additional technical, research and safety (MSDS) information is available as is a Reference Calculator for converting relevant units of measurement.

I 1245 (OTTO) Indium sulphate, 98% Cas no 13464-82-9 - used to electroplate indium metal, as a hardening agent in gold electroplating or to prepare other indium containing substances such as copper indium selenide.

Indium sulfate is a sulfate salt of the metal indium. 
Indium sulfate is a sesquisulfate, meaning that the sulfate group occurs 1 times as much as the metal. 
Indium sulfate may be formed by the reaction of indium, its oxide, or its carbonate with sulfuric acid.

In water solution, the indium ion forms a complex with water and sulfate, examples being In(H2O)5(SO4)+ and In(H2O)4(SO4)2−.
Indium sulfate is unusual in forming a sulfate complex. The effect on the sulfate ion is revealed in the Raman spectrum.
The proportion of sulfate complex increases with temperature showing the reaction that forms it is endothermic.
The proportion also increases with concentration of the solution and can be over a half.
The sulfate complex rapidly exchanges with water at a rate of over 10,000,000 per second, so that NMR cannot detect the difference that results from a complexed and noncomplexed indium ion.
An indium sulfate water solution is quite acidic with a 0.14 mol/liter solution having a pH of 1.85. 
If the pH rises above 3.4 then a precipitate will form. 

The Raman spectrum of the solution shows lines at 650, 1000 and 1125 cm−1 due to a sulfur–oxygen bonds in sulfate bound to indium. 
A line at 255 cm−1 is due to the indium-oxygen bond to the sulfate. 
The water attached to the indium atom causes a band at about 400 cm−1. 

Solid anhydrous indium sulfate has two crystalline forms. 
When formed by chlorine gas chemical transport at 848 K, it has a monoclinic form with unit cell dimensions a = 8.570 Å, b = 8.908 Å and c = 12.0521 Å, β = 91.05°, and four formulae per cell. 
A high temperature form deposited at 973K has a hexagonal (or rhombohedral) form with cell dimensions of a = 8.440 Å, c = 23.093 Å and six formulae per cell. 

During extraction of indium, a sulfate solution of mixed metals, including indium sulfate, has trivalent metals partitioned into a kerosene solution of di-2-ethylhexyl hydrogen phosphate. 
Isododecylphosphetanic and diisooctylphosphinic acids can also be used for this function. 
The kerosene mixture is then backwashed with an acid to recover the metals in a water solution and regenerate the extracting fluid. 


Indium metal reacts with cold concentrated sulfuric acid to produce Indium sulfate and hydrogen gas. 
If hot concentrated sulfuric acid is used indium will reduce the sulfuric acid to sulfur dioxide. 

Indium sulfate can also be produced from a reaction of sulfuric acid on indium oxide, indium carbonate, or indium hydroxide.

Indium sulfate is a commercially available chemical. 
Indium sulfatecan be used to electroplate indium metal, as a hardening agent in gold electroplating or to prepare other indium containing substances such as copper indium selenide. 
Indium sulfate has been sold as a health supplement, even though there is no evidence of benefit to humans, and it is toxic.

The first high-frequency transistor was the surface-barrier germanium transistor developed by Philco in 1953, capable of operating up to 60 MHz.
These were made by etching depressions into an N-type germanium base from both sides with jets of indium sulfate until it was a few ten-thousandths of an inch thick. 
Indium sulfate electroplated into the depressions formed the collector and emitter.
