The application discloses a preparation method of triethyl
indium, and relates to the technical field of
metal organic source synthesis, wherein a commonly used
indium source is mainly trimethyl
indium; the trimethyl indium is in a
solid state at normal temperature, and is easy to cause the
solid indium source to be easy to be hardened and to have excessive residues; when the
solid indium source is used in a
machine, the concentration output stability is worse than that of a liquid source; the liquid indium source will become an important indium source in the future; the operation method of the triethyl indium in preparation is more complicated; and the purity of the triethyl indium prepared by purification cannot reach a better ideal state. In the application, n-
butyllithium and
ethyl iodide are reacted under the protection of
inert gas, then the
reaction product is reacted with
indium chloride to generate triethyl indium; the whole operation is simple, raw materials are easy to obtain, and the product has high purity; under the protection of
inert gas, the interference of other solution reagents in the preparation process is reduced; therefore, high-quality triethyl indium raw materials can be purified and processed.
