General description

Indium(III) chloride (InCl3) is an indium halide that is a Lewis acid in a variety of organic reactions.

Application

InCl3 can be used for a variety of application such as:
  • fabrication of a photoanode for dye sensitized solar cells
  • a catalyst in Michael addition of silylenol and indoles

Useful catalyst for aqueous organic reactions including C-C bond formation, aldol reactions, and reductions. An efficient, yet mild, Lewis acid for organic synthesis.

Methods of Synthesizing Monodisperse Colloidal Quantum Dots

Colloidal quantum dots (CQDs) are semiconducting crystals of only a few nanometers (ca. 2–12 nm) coated with ligand/surfactant molecules to help prevent agglomeration.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
