General description

Indium is a silvery-white soft metal with aface-centered tetragonal crystalline structure. It becomes superconductingat 3.37 K. It improves alloys′ hardness, corrosion resistance, andstrength.

Application

Indium can be used as a:

  • Dopant to tune the electrical and photoelectrical properties of CdSe nanowires.
  • Negative electrode material for Mg-ion batteries.
  • Reducing agent in many organic transformations because of its low first ionization potential.

This paper documents the first example of In(III)-catalyzed selective 6-exo-dig hydroarylation of o-propargylbiaryls and their subsequent double-bond migration to obtain functionalized phenanthrenes. Electron-rich biaryl substrates undergo hydroarylation more effectively, and the substrates with various types of substituents on the alkyne
