(Figure Presented) A β-diketiminate complex of indium, [ln{N(2,4,6-Me3C6H2)C(Me)}2CH], dimerizes in the solid state (see space-filling model) to provide an indium species that is formally isoelectronic to the historically significant bis(stannane)diyls. A direct In - In bond is formed yielding a centrosymmetric dimer that possesses approximate C2h symmetry with a mutual trans-bent orientation of the N-chelating ligands.
