Solid- and solution-state structures of indium 'alkene analogues'.
Although the nuclearity of In(I) 'carbenes' is dependent upon the steric demands of the supporting beta-diketiminate ligand, it is shown by solution NMR diffusion (DOSY) methods that the In-In interactions observed in the solid-state are very weak and not retained in solution.
