Indium triiodide(CAS: 13510-35-5)

Indium triiodide is a chemical compound with the formula InI3. It is a deep red solid that is soluble in organic solvents. This compound is used in various applications due to its unique properties.

Indium triiodide is primarily used in materials science, particularly in the synthesis of indium-based compounds and as a precursor for indium-containing thin films. It also has applications in the fabrication of certain types of glass and ceramic materials.

Indium triiodide is generally considered safe for laboratory use when handled with proper precautions. However, it should be stored in a dry environment to prevent moisture-induced decomposition. Skin contact and inhalation of dust should be avoided, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn during handling.

Indium triiodide should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption. Ideal storage conditions include temperatures below 25°C and relative humidity below 60%.
