Indium hydride (InH3) is a binary compound of hydrogen and indium. Despite claims [2] the compound has never been synthesised but monomeric InH3 has been observed in matrix isolation [3] [4]. Gas phase stability has been predicted [5] The infrared spectrum was obtained in the gas phase by laser ablation of indium in presence of hydrogen gas [6] Several indium hydride complexes 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. Indium hydride is also known to form adducts with carbenes [9] and with phosphines, for example in the compound H3InP(Cy)3 [10]. The In-H bond length is estimated at 170 pm compared to 148 pm for the Ga-H bond and 153 pm for the Al-H bond.
