Treatment of indium trichloride with three equivalents of the cyclopentadienyliron carbonyl anions, [Fe(C O )2(?7-C5H4R)] (R = H, Me) affords the tri-iron indium com plexes [In{Fe(C O )2(//-C5H 4R )},] (R = H. Me) as dark red crystalline materials. Both compounds were characterized by spectroscopic and analytical methods. Infrared spectroscopy indicates that both com plexes are undissociated in...

Topological crystalline insulators (TCIs) have been of great interest in the area of condensed matter physics. We investigated the effect of indium substitution on the crystal structure and transport properties in the TCI system (Pb1−xSnx)1−yInyTe. For samples with a tin concentration x ≤ 50%, the low-temperature resisitivities show a dramatic variation as a function of indium concentration: wi...

Cr3Al shows semiconducting behavior that has not been explained previously. We used density functional theory calculations, performed at the Cornell NanoScale Facility to study the effect of chemical ordering and magnetism on the semiconducting behavior. The calculations show that the proposed chemically ordered Cr3Al structure in the Cr1-xAlx phase diagram is the lowest energy structure of tho...

It is needless for occupational health doctors and scientists to mention about the importance of risk assessment of hazardous substances used in workplaces. Since the US Supreme Court sentenced the " benzene verdict " requiring better ground for the occupational exposure limit (OEL) for benzene in 1980, the research and scientific knowledge on risk assessment for hazardous substances have been ...

Indium selenide compounds are promising materials for energy conversion, spintronic applications, and chemical sensing. However, it is difficult to grow stoichiometric indium crystals due the high equilibrium selenium vapor pressure complicated phase system of compounds. In this paper, we apply a novel convenient crystal growth method, in which saturated solution grown by application vapor. at ...

A versatile and high-yielding indium trichloride mediated cyclization reaction of silylated homoallylic alcohols, thiols, or amines with aldehydes or epoxides is described as a rapid route to a range of unsaturated heterocycles. The excellent diastereoselectivity observed offers a method of wide scope and generality.

indium is a heavy metal belonging to group iiia. it is used as a radioimaging and chemotherapeutic agent in diagnosis and also in the treatment of cancers. it is believed that indium may interfere with iron metabolism and reduce cell growth in cancer tissue. the present report was established to study the binding of iron and indium to apo-transferrin (apo-tf) and to identify amino acids involve...

regioselective synthesis of highly functionalized pyranopyrazoles was achieved in excellent yield from phenyl pyrazolone, substituted aromatic aldehyde with nitroketene-n,s-acetal in the presence of indium trichloride as a versatile catalyst under reflux condition in ethanol-water mixture. all reactions preceeded within a short period of time with excellent purity. all of the synthesized compou...

BACKGROUND During the last decade it has been clarified that the inhalation of indium compounds can evoke alveolar proteinosis, cholesterol granuloma, pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the characteristics and time course of pulmonary disorders among indium workers using comprehensive pulmonary examinations at an indium-processing factory. METHODS Data for ...
