Abstract:
The reactions of IMes [:CN(Mes)C2H2N(Mes), Mes = mesityl] and DAB [(ArN=CH)2, Ar = C6H3Pri2-2,6] with indium(I) halides have afforded the first carbene and diazabutadiene indium(II) complexes, [In2Br4(IMes)2] and [In2Cl2(DAB.)2], both of which have been crystallographically characterised.
