Chemical Properties
white to light yellow powder
Uses
Used in catalysts.Indium(III) 2,4-pentanedionate is used as a precursor for the preparation of indium(III)oxide. It acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of oxindole derivatives. It finds application in gas sensors. Further, it is used in the synthesis of indium tin oxide nanocrystals. In addition to this, it is involved in the preparation of thin-film solar cells by atomic layer chemical vapor deposition with hydrogen sulfide.

3. Indium(III) acetylacetonate acts as a catalyst in the synthesis of oxindole derivatives. In (acac)
3 were studied to be used as gas sensors. It is used in the synthesis of indium tin oxide nanocrystals (ITO). Thin-film solar cells are synthesized with atomic layer chemical vapor deposition using In (acac)
3 and H
2S.
General Description
In (acac)
3 is the indium complex of acetylacetone. Metal acetylacetonates exhibit high sensitivity to oxidizing gases.
