The synthesis and structures of indium complexes incorporating the bidentate monoanionic ligand N,N′-diisopropylaminotroponiminate ( i Pr 2 -ATI) are described. The reaction of InCl 3 with Li[ i Pr 2 -ATI] yields ( i Pr 2 -ATI)InCl 2 (3), which is converted to ( i Pr 2 -ATI)InMe 2 (4) by reaction with MeLi; 4 is also formed by the reaction of InMe 3 with ( i Pr 2 -ATI)H. The reaction of 4 with 6) and Ph 3 CMe. 6 was isolated as the chlorobenzene solvate 6‚PhCl. An X-ray diffraction study shows that there are two independent cations in the asymmetric unit of 6‚PhCl. One cation (In( 1)) is ion-paired with two B(C 6 F 5 ) 4anions, while the second cation is complexed with two PhCl molecules and is disordered between two equally occupied positions (In(2) and In( 3)). Dative In-ClPh bonding and PhCl/ATI π-stacking interactions contribute to the PhCl coordination in 6‚PhCl. The reaction of 4 with B(C 6 F 5 ) 3 yields [( i Pr 2 -ATI)InMe][MeB(C 6 F 5 ) 3 ] (7), which decomposes slowly at 23 °C by C 6 F 5transfer reactions. The reaction of 4 with [HNMe 2 Ph][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] yields the labile amine adduct [( i Pr 2 -ATI)In(Me)(NMe 2 Ph)][B(C 6 F 5 ) 4 ] (10).which undergo associative ligand exchange. The ( i Pr 2 -ATI)AlR + cations catalyze the dimerization of terminal alkynes by an insertion/σ-bond metathesis mechanism and initiate the polymerization of isobutylene and propylene oxide. The dinuclear hydride cation {( i Pr 2 -
