The new hybrid inorganic-organic polymer In(2)(OH)(3)O(4)C(8)H(4)(1.5) has been hydrothermally obtained. Conditions for the synthesis are reported. The crystal structure of this material has been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction: it is monoclinic, with space group P2(1)/c (Nomicron. 14), a = 6.772(1) A, b = 10.329(2) A, c = 20.152(3) A, beta = 97.573(3) degrees. The In atoms are octahedrally coordinated by three hydroxide groups and three different molecules of carboxylate ligand. The resulting polymeric 3D structure can be envisaged as having been generated from a honeycomb (6,3) 2D that is cross-linked by the BDC organic anions. Data of IR and TGA-DTA studies, as well as the results of reduction of nitroaromatics and selective oxidation of organic sulfide reactions catalyzed by the new material, are reported.
