Synthesis and structural characterisation of a soluble, metastable indium(I) halide complex, [InBr(tmeda)].
The first example of an indium(i) halide complex, [InBr(tmeda)], has been prepared by the reversible dissolution of InBr in a tmeda-toluene mixture. The structural characterisation of the metastable compound shows it to be monomeric with weak InIn interactions in the solid state. In solution, it decomposes to either InBr or [In2Br4(tmeda)2].
