Hi.
I have indium and want make aqueous InCl3 (for electrodeposition of indium with indium counterelectrode).
Is there a simple synthesis for aqueous InCl3? Could I just put indium in aqueous chlorine (and perhaps heat)?
It appears that using HCl would give me InCl2 which I'm not sure is suitable for electroplating.
Please note I'm not a professional chemist and have limited equipment!
Thanks
The signalled papers should help:

Dear Dr. Barney Pitt,
below you can find a note that could be useful to you for the preparation of aqueous solution of InCl3: "Method for preparing high-purity anhydrous indium trichloride" Available at: https://patents.google.com/patent/CN101254942A/en
