InH2

InH2, also known as indium dihydride, is a chemical compound with the formula InH2. It is a metallic hydride formed between indium and hydrogen. The precise nature of InH2 has been a subject of scientific investigation. Early research suggested the existence of InH2 as a stable compound, but later studies indicated it might be a transient species or a non-stoichiometric phase. It is generally understood that indium can readily absorb hydrogen, leading to various indium hydride phases, with InH2 being one of the proposed forms. The synthesis of indium hydrides often involves reactions under high pressure or through electrochemical methods. Understanding the properties and stability of InH2 is relevant to fields such as solid-state chemistry and materials science, particularly in relation to hydrogen storage and catalytic applications involving indium. Further research continues to clarify the exact conditions under which InH2 forms and its characteristic properties.
