Abstract Tetrabutylammonium salts of the mixed haloindates, [Bu4N][InCl3X], X=Cl, Br, I, interact with aromatic solvents forming liquid inclusion compounds. The aromatic/cation ratio (A/C), a measure of the amount of guest aromatic, has been determined for a variety of simple aromatics. The values range from 2.6 to 0.4, substantially lower than the A/A of similar [Bu4N][Al2R6X] liquid clathrates. The ability of these liquid clathrates to function as catalysis media has been explored. The solubility of (Ph3P)2Rh(CO)Cl and (Ph3P)3RhCl in the various clathrates was determined. It was found that significant leaching of the catalyst into the bulk aromatic solvent occurred, ranging from 13 to 94%. A related liquid clathrate, [Li·12-crown-4][InCl4]·(C6H5CH3)2, had 〈1% of the dissolved catalyst leached.
