Indium perchlorate is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula In(ClO4)3.[1] The compound is an indium salt of perchloric acid.[2][3]

Synthesis

Dissolving indium hydroxide in perchloric acid:

In(OH)3 + 3HClO4 → In(ClO4)3 + 3H2O

Physical properties

Indium(III) perchlorate forms colorless crystals. It is soluble in water and ethanol.

The compound forms a hydrate In(ClO4)3 • 8H2O, that melts in its own crystallization water at 80 °C.[4]

The octahydrate is easily soluble in ethanol and acetic acid.
