A spectroscopic study of the decomposition of a Lewis base adduct of indane is reported. The outcomes of this study have prompted the synthesis of the exceptionally stable indane complex [InH3(IPr*)]. The ease at which [InH3(IPr*)] can be handled shows promise for the exploration of indium trihydride reactivity.
