Indium(III) iodide or indium triiodide is a chemical compound of indium and iodine with the formula InI3.
Preparation[]
Indium(III) iodide is obtained by evaporation of a solution of indium in HI.[1]
Properties[]
Distinct yellow and a red forms are known. The red form undergoes a transition to the yellow at 57 °C. The structure of the red form has not been determined by X-ray crystallography, however spectroscopic evidence indicates that indium may be six coordinate.[2] The yellow form consists of In2I6 with 4 coordinate indium centres.
