The first example of a compound containing a mixed-oxidation-state indium sub-halide complex anion, [In5Br8(quinuclidine) 4]-, has been accessed by the controlled decomposition of an indium trihydride adduct, [InH3(quinuclidine)], in the presence of LiBr. An intermediate in this reaction, [InH2Br(quinuclidine) 2], has been isolated and suggests that its mechanism involves hydride-bromide exchange, reductive dehydrogenation, and disproportionation processes.
