Abstract
The first indium-phosphorus cubane, [ iPrIn(μ 3-PSiPh 3)] 4 ( 1) has been prepared via the reaction of Li 2[PSiPh 3] with iPrInI 2. The structure of 1 has been determined by X-ray analysis: monoclinic, space group P2 1/ c with a = 15.611(3), b = 25.767(2), c = 22.541(6) Å, β = 96.19(2)°, and Z = 4. Polycrystalline films of indium phosphide have been grown on Si(100) wafers from 1 in a horizontal hot-wall reactor at 500°C. Compound 1 is unstable with respect to photolysis and electrochemical oxidation; however it is relatively stable toward alcoholysis.
