Two new indium(III) compounds with extended structures, [In{sub 2}(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2}(C{sub 2}O{sub 4})(H{sub 2}O){sub 2}].2H{sub 2}O (I) and [NH{sub 3}(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}NH{sub 3}][In(C{sub 2}O{sub 4}){sub 2}]{sub 2}.5H{sub 2}O (II), have been prepared under mild hydrothermal conditions and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric analysis and infrared spectroscopy. Compound I crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1, with a=5.2596(11) A, b=6.8649(14) A, c=9.3289(19) A, {alpha}=101.78(3){sup o}, {beta}=102.03(3){sup o}, {gamma}=104.52(3){sup o}, while compound II crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, space group Fdd2, with a=15.856(3) A, b=31.183(6) A, c=8.6688(17) A. In compound I, indium-selenite chains are bridged by oxalate units to form two-dimensional (2D) In{sub 2}(SeO{sub 3}){sub 2}C{sub 2}O{sub 4} layers, separated by non-coordinating water molecules. In compound II, the indium atoms are connected through the oxalate units to generate a 3D open framework containing cross-linked 12- and 8-membered channels. - Graphical abstract: Two new indium(III) compounds have been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized.
