The title compound has been prepared in low yield by the reaction of [(TKF)
(2)LiC(SiMe3)(3)](2) with humid di(n-propyl) indium bromide and purified by
sublimation at 110-115 degrees C/10(-3) hPa. This organo indium hydroxe co
mpound forms a trimer via In-OH-In bridges and crystallizes in the triclini
c space group P (1) over bar with two trimers and one toluene molecule per
unitcell. The In3O3 heterocycle has chair-, the n-propyl ligand has trans-c
onformation, respectively.
