Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the cost-effective and environmentally friendly production of alkyl indium sesquichloride in high yield and with high selectivity and purity. The alkyl indium sesquichloride produced according to the invention is particularly suitable, also as a result of the high purity and yield, for the production, on demand, of indium-containing precursors in high yield and with high selectivity and purity. As a result of the high purity, the indium-containing precursors that can be produced are particularly suitable for metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) or metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). The novel method according to the invention is characterized by the improved execution of the method, in particular a rapid process control. Owing to targeted and extensive use of raw materials that are cost-effective and have a low environmental impact, the method is also suitable for use on an industrial scale.

Abstract: A novel metal-organic framework (MOF) templated process for the synthesis of highly porous inorganic sorbents for removing radionuclides, actinides, and heavy metals is disclosed. The highly porous nature of the MOFs leads to highly porous inorganic sorbents (such as oxides, phosphates, sulfides, etc) with accessible surface binding sites that are suitable for removing radionuclides from high level nuclear wastes, extracting uranium from acid mine drainage and seawater, and sequestering heavy metals from waste streams. In some cases, MOFs can be directly used for removing these metal ions as MOFs are converted to highly porous inorganic sorbents in situ.
