The chloro complexes of indium(III) generate closely spaced, polarized Raman lines (stretching vibrations of indium-chloride bonds) which are observed as a single, broad, band profile. The band maximum shifts from 311 to 279 cm"1 as the chloride-to-indium ratio is increased from 0.48 to 15.9. Several numerical procedures have been applied to the digitized band profiles in order to investigate their usefulness for extracting the hidden information concerning the number of lines and their parameters. These were asymmetry analysis, including finding the centroid, the lower and upper semi-half-band width and the third moments, factor analysis, numerical band fitting, and stability constant modeling. For the compositions studied evidence for four species is presented: [InCl(H20)5]2+, [InCl2(H20)4]+, [InCl3(H20)3], and [InCl4(H20)2]". All methods failed to give reproducible stability constants.Plane14 assigned the contour to InCl2+(aq), InCl2+(aq), and InCl4'(aq). Woodward and Taylor12 even suggested InCl52" and InClfi3" ions were being formed but knowledge of the
