Dinuclear indium complexes have been synthesized and characterized. These include neutral and cationic indium complexes supported by a Schiff base ligand bearing a binaphthol linker. The new compounds were investigated for alternating copolymerization of CO and cyclohexene oxide. In particular, the neutral indium chloride complex (±)-[(ONN)InCl] () showed high conversion of cyclohexene oxide and selectivity for poly(cyclohexene carbonate) formation without cocatalysts at 80 °C under various CO pressures (2-30 bar). Importantly, the reactivity of the dinuclear indium chloride complex is drastically different from that of the mononuclear indium chloride complex (±)-(NNO)InCl (), suggesting a cooperative initiation mechanism involving the two indium centers in .

Crystallization of 5-nona-noyl-8-hy-droxy-quinoline in the presence of InCl in aceto-nitrile yields a dinuclear In complex crystallizing in the space group . In this complex, [In(CHNO)Cl(HO)], each indium ion is sixfold coordinated by two chloride ions, one water mol-ecule and two 8-quinolino-late ions. The crystal of the title complex is composed of two-dimensional supra-molecular aggregates, resulting from the linkage of the O-H⋯O=C and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds as well as bifurcated C-H⋯Cl contacts.

Article Synopsis
- * This research compares dinuclear iridium catalysts (Ir-DHC) on two different supports, indium tin oxide (ITO) and cerium oxide (CeO), to isolate the effects of the support on catalytic activity during water oxidation.
- * Results showed that at higher temperatures (310-323 K), Ir-DHC on ITO performed significantly better than on CeO due to varying abilities of the supports to redistribute holes, emphasizing the support's role in catalytic efficiency.

Reactions of di(2-pyridyl) ketone, (py)CO, with indium(III) halides in CHNO have been studied, and a new transformation of the ligand has been revealed. In the presence of In, the C═O bond of (py)CO is subjected to nucleophilic attack by the carbanion :CHNO, yielding the dinuclear complexes [InX{(py)C(CHNO)(O)}] (X = Cl, ; X = Br, ; X = I, ) in moderate to good yields. The alkoxo oxygens of the two η:η:η-(py)C(CHNO)(O) ligands doubly bridge the In centers and create a {In(μ-OR)} core.
