Indium isopropoxide

Studies of the alkoxides of this group started in the middle of 1960s when Funk [602], Mehrotra [1129], and Reinmann [1349] nearly simultaneously reported the synthesis of Ga(OR)j. Indium isopropoxide was first described by Mehrotra in 1972 [1106] (the preparation ofIn(OMe)3 on reaction of InC13 with 50 equivalents of NaOMe reported by Runge et al. [1374] should apparently be questioned). Of the modem studies of primary interest are the preparation of indium (I) phenoxides stabilized by bulky ligands, reported by Roesky etal. [1362,1434], and that of the bimetallic butoxide, In Sn(OBu )3, described byVeith etal. [1685],...

Indium(III) alkoxides are readily prepared by the treatment of trihalide with NaOR.127 The chemistry of these compounds has been little studied, no doubt because they are insoluble materials in which the indium atom optimizes its coordination number by cross-linking via oxygen. The isopropoxides of aluminum and gallium react128 with In(OPr )3 to give In[M(OPr )4]3 (M = A1, Ga) which are volatile and monomeric in solution. The structure involves six-coordination at the smaller metal centre.
