Synthesis, crystal and molecular structure of the first indium trihydride complex, [InH3{CN(Pri)C2Me2N(Pri)}]
Abstract
The reaction of either [InH3(NMe3)] or LiInH4 with an excess of the imidazol-2-ylidene carbene, :CN(Pri)C2Me2N(Pri), affords the first example of an indium trihydride complex, [InH3{CN(Pri)C2Me2N(Pri)}], the X-ray crystal structure of which is described.
