Indium acetate is an acetate of indium, with the chemical formula In(CH₃COO)₃. It is soluble in water, acetic acid and mineral acids.^[1] It is the precursor of indium-containing compounds such as the solar cell materials CuInS₂^[2] and indium phosphide quantum dots.^[3]

Preparation

Indium acetate can be prepared by reacting indium^[4] or triethylindium^[5] with frozen acetic acid.

Chemical properties

Indium acetate can react with propionic acid:^[4]

In(CH₃COO)₃ + CH₃CH₂COOH → In(CH₃COO)₂(CH₃CH₂COO) + CH₃COOH
