OBJECTIVES The present study was designed to determine whether there is a relationship between indium compound exposure and interstitial lung damage in workers employed at indium tin oxide manufacturing and reclaiming factories in Korea. METHODS In 2012, we conducted a study for the prevention of indium induced lung damage in Korea and identified 78 workers who had serum indium or Krebs von d...

The extraction equilibrium of indium(III) from a nitric acid solution using di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphoric acid (D2EHPA) as an acidic extractant of organophosphorus compounds dissolved in kerosene was studied. By graphical and numerical analysis, the compositions of indium-D2EHPA complexes in organic phase and stoichiometry of the extraction reaction were examined. Nitric acid solutions with vario...

Treatment of aryl iodides with indium metal in the presence of lithium chloride leads to the formation of an organoindium reagent capable of participating in cross-coupling reactions under transition-metal catalysis. Combination with aryl halides in the presence of 5 mol % Cl2Pd(dppf) furnishes biaryl compounds in good yields; similarly, reaction with acyl halides or allylic acetates/carbonates...

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...

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...
