The P,P-chelated heteroleptic complex bis[bis(diisopropylphosphino)amido]indium chloride [(i-Pr2P)2N]2InCl was prepared in high yield by treating InCl3 with 2 equiv of (i-Pr2P)2NLi in Et2O/tetrahydrofuran solution. Samples of [(i-Pr2P)2N]2InCl in a pentane slurry, a CH2Cl2 solution, or in the solid state were exposed to CO2, resulting in the insertion of CO2 into two of the four M–P bonds to produce [O2CP(i-Pr2)NP(i-Pr2)]2InCl in each case. These compounds were characterized by multinuclear NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as single-crystal X-ray diffraction. ReactIR solution studies show that the reaction is complete in less than 1 min at room temperature in solution and in less than 2 h in the solid–gas reaction. The CO2 complex is stable up to at least 60 °C under vacuum, but the starting material is regenerated with concomitant loss of carbon dioxide upon heating above 75 °C. Furthermore, the compound [(i-Pr2P)2N]2InCl also reacts with CS2 to give a complicated mixture of products, one of which was identified as the CS2 cleavage product [S=P(i-Pr2)NP(i-Pr2)]2InCl]2(μ-Cl)[μ-(i-Pr2P)2N)].
