Four In(III) xanthate complexes, [In(S 2 COR) 3 ] where R = Me, Et, i Pr and s Bu, respectively, were synthesized, characterized and subsequently used as single source molecular precursors via a solventless thermolysis route to obtain indium sulfide materials. By choice of precursor and reaction temperature crystalline powders of tetragonal In 2 S 3 , cubic In 2 S 3 and cubic In 2.77 S 4 were acquired. The phase identification and purity were conducted through examination of the experimental powder X‐ray diffraction patterns relative to the simulated patterns for single X‐ray crystal diffraction.
