Synthesis
editThe compound can be obtained by reacting ammonium fluoride and indium bromide in anhydrous methanol, or by reacting ammonium fluoride and indium fluoride in aqueous solution.[3]
Also, a reaction involving indium hydroxide and ammonium fluoride:[4]
- In(OH)3 + 3 HF + 3 NH4F → (NH4)3InF6 + 3 H2O
Physical properties
editThe compound decomposes at 120–170 °C to obtain NH4InF4, and further decomposes to InF3 at 185–300 °C.[5]
Ammonium hexafluoroindiate forms colorless crystals of tetragonal system, space group P4mnc,[6] insoluble in water.[4]
At 80 °C, a phase transition into the cubic phase occurs.
