Indium chloride (InCl3) is an inorganic halide ceramic compound used primarily as a precursor material and catalyst in chemical synthesis and semiconductor processing. It functions as a Lewis acid in organic transformations and serves as a starting material for producing indium oxide and other indium-based compounds in thin-film and optoelectronic applications. Engineers select InCl3 where high chemical reactivity and indium incorporation are needed, particularly in contexts where solution-based or vapor-phase deposition methods are preferred over alternative indium sources.
