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.
