Talk:Indium(II) chloride

Proper molecular formula

The wikidatasheet Q4498210 names this compound as "indium(I,III) chloride". In line with remarks on other seemingly In(II) compounds this sounds quit sound, which would mean a formula like ${\ce {In^{I}[In^{III}Cl4]}}$ should be used in stead of ${\ce {InCl2}}$. Another option is a direct In-In bond giving rise to a formula like ${\ce {Cl2In-InCl2}}$, in which indium formaly indeed is found as In(II), but this is only true because of the zero attribution of the In-In bond to the charge as the bonding order of indium clearly is three. I do not have access in any way to a scientific library, so I am not able to do any literature study myself and correct or supplement the text of this lemma myself, I only can raise the flag. Who is able to add some knowledge to the discrapancy between the name of this lemma and the name in the central Wiki database? T.vanschaik (talk) 22:33, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
