The reactions of elemental indium and InIBr with the carbonyl-free organonickel complexes (η5-C5H5)(PR3)Ni-Br (R = CH3, C6H5) have been studied in some detail. Either redox reactions to yield the ionic products [(ηC5H5(PR3)2Ni][InBr 4] (2a,b) occurred or the Ni-In bound systems (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)Ni-InBr 2(OPPh3) (3a) and [(η5-C5H5(PPh3)Ni] 2InBr (4) were obtained in good yields. The new compounds were characterized by elemental analysis, NMR, and mass spectrometry. A short Ni-In bond of 244.65(9) pm was found for 3a. Single crystal data for (η5-C5H5)(PPh3)Ni-InBr 2(OPPh3)·THF (3a): triclinic, P1 with a = 1124.9(3), b = 1353.2(4), c = 1476.4-(4) pm, α = 94.74(2)°, β= 101.78(2)°, γ = 109.64(1)°, V = 2044(1) × 106 pm3, Z = 2, R = 0.053 (Rw = 0.063).
