Indium trihydride is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula (InH
3). It has been observed in matrix isolation and laser ablation experiments.[2][3] Gas phase stability has been predicted.[4] The infrared spectrum was obtained in the gas phase by laser ablation of indium in presence of hydrogen gas [5] InH3 is of no practical importance

Chemical properties[]

Solid InH3 is a three-dimensional network polymeric structure, where In atoms are connected by In-H-In bridging bonds, is suggested to account for the growth of broad infrared bands when samples of InH3 and InD3 produced on a solid hydrogen matrix are warmed.[5] Such a structure is known for solid AlH3.[6] When heated above −90 °C, indium trihydride decomposes to produce indium–hydrogen alloy and elemental hydrogen. As of 2013, the only known method of synthesising indium trihydride is the autopolymerisation of indane below −90 °C.

Other indium hydrides[]

Structure of the adduct of InH3 and tricyclohexylphosphine.[7]

Several compounds with In-H bonds have been reported.[7] Examples of complexes with two hydride ligands replaced by other ligands are K3[K(Me2SiO)7][HIn(Me3CCH2)3]4[8] and HIn(2-Me2NCH2-C6H4)2.

Although InH3 is labile, adducts are known with the stoichiometry InH3Ln (n = 1 or 2).[9] 1:1 amine adducts are made by the reaction of LiInH4 with a trialkylammonium salt. The trimethylamine complex is only stable below −30 °C or in dilute solution. The 1:1 and 1:2 complexes with tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3) have been characterised crystallographically. The average In-H bond length is 168 pm.[7] Indium hydride is also known to form adducts with NHCs.[10]
