Kinetic Control over the Thermal Stability of the InH Bond: Synthesis and Characterization of Amido Indium Hydride Complexes

High thermal stability is a characteristic feature of the depicted amido indium hydride complex (In red; hydride yellow), which is amongst the first to be synthesized and characterized. The stability arises from steric shielding of the InH bond, which frustrates the formation of the intermolecular InHIn bridges.
