Indium(I) iodide forms a brown-red diamagnetic solid. Its melt is black. Its melt is black. The compound has an orthorhombic crystal structure in the space group Cmcm (space group no. 63) with the lattice parameters a = 475 pm, b = 1276 pm, c = 491 pm. [ 5 ]
Indium (49 In) consists of two primordial nuclides, with the most common (~ 95.7%) nuclide (115 In) being measurably though weakly radioactive. Its spin-forbidden decay has a half-life of 4.41×10 14 years, much longer than the currently accepted age of the Universe. The stable isotope 113 In is only 4.3% of
