Leads to the formation of dimeric o-phenyleneindium bromide tetrakis(tetrahydrofuran) adduct, a polyfunctional Lewis acid-Lewis base adduct.

Praseodymium(III) chloride is used in producing metal praseodymium and praseodymium compounds,glass,ceramic and coloring.

Zinc(II) chloride is used as a catalyst, as a dehydrating and condensing agent, soldering flux and metal etchant. It is also employed in preserving anatomical specimens, wood preservatives, deodorant, disinfecting and embalming materials. It is employed as a mordant in printing and dyeing materials, and in the vulcanizing processes of fiber and rubber. It is useful as an electrolyte in dry cell batteries, in metal industry, in galvanizing iron and as an electrolyte for electroplating. It is useful in an organic synthesis, for example in the Friedel-crafts acylation, Fisher indole synthesis, Lucas reagent (zinc chloride with HCl), activation of allylic/benzylic halides towards reaction with olefins or with sodium cyanoborohydride catalyzed reduction of halides, organozinc reagents for use in Negishi coupling, and aldol condensation reactions.

Iron(II) chloride is used in the synthesis of iron complexes like iron(II) hydroxide. It acts as a precursor to hydrated iron(III) oxides that are magnetic pigments. It serves as a reducing agent in organic synthesis. Also, used as a reducing flocculating agent in wastewater treatment, especially for wastes containing chromate. It is used as an intermediate, in pigments, processing aids and in solids separation agents.

linseed oil of a high degree of purification for production processes.

Thallium(I) iodide is used in mercury lamp to enhance its performance. It is mainly used for underwater lighting, since the blue green light produced has least absorption in water. Scintillator made by using iodide salt of thallium, sodium and cesium is utilized for radiation scintillation detectors.
