• Origin of name:
– from the brilliant indigo line in its spectrum
• History:
– discovered by Ferdinand Reich and Theodor H Richter in 1863
while they were testing zinc ores with a spectrograph in search
of thallium.
– Richter went on to isolate the metal in 1867.
– until 1924, a gram or so constituted the world's supply of this
element in isolated form

• low-melting alloys (an alloy of 24% indium - 76% gallium is liquid
at room temperature)
• Used to make photoconductors, germanium transistors, rectifiers,
and thermistors.
• electroluminescent panels
• light filter in low pressure sodium vapor lamps
• Indium phosphide semiconductors and indium-tin-oxide (ITO) thin
films for liquid crystal displays (LCDs)
• eutectic alloy of gallium, indium, and tin (Galinstan®), is widely
available in fever thermometers
• Can also be plated onto metals and evaporated onto glass which
forms a mirror which is as good as those made with silver but has
higher corrosion resistance.
• fusible alloys, solders, dental alloys, nuclear control rods, and
electronics

Environmental Effects
• Pure indium in metal form is considered nontoxic by most sources.
• All indium compounds should be regarded as
highly toxic. Indium compounds damage the
heart, kidney, and liver, and may be teratogenic.
• Example:
– indium trichloride anhydrous (InCl3) is quite toxic
– indium phosphide (InP) is both toxic and a suspected
carcinogen.

Environmental Effects
• Indium has no hazardous effect to the
environment although indium is very slightly
radioactive.
• It very slowly decays to tin over time.
• This radioactivity is not considered hazardous,
mainly because its decay rate is nearly 50,000
times slower than that of natural thorium, with a
half-life, 4 x 1014 years, many thousands of times
longer than the estimated age of the universe.
• Also, indium is not a notorious cumulative
poison, like its neighbor cadmium, and is
relatively rare.
