%X The title compound is readily obtained as a colourless , crystalline solid by recrystallization of hydrated indium perchlorate from dimethyl  sulfoxide. The crystals are rhombohedral , space group R3, a 9.911(3)&#506;, &#945; 73.66(2)&3176;, Z= 1 f.u.;a single-crystal X-ray structure determination at 295 K refined to R 0.039 for 806 'observed' reflections. Unlike many Me2SO complexes, the indium species contains nicely ordered cations , [In(Me2SO)6]3+. Indium lies on a site of 3 symmetry, with In-O 2.140(3)&#506; and the angle between the oxygens related by the threefold axis being 94.2(1)&#176;. Two independent perchlorate moieties are disordered about sites of 3 and 3 symmetry.
