24. The indium-based dehydrogenation catalysts appear to be adsorbed on alumina. Accordingly, when alumina is treated with alkane solutions of the indium complexes, the solutions turn colorless and the support acquires the red color of the catalyst. However, we have yet to determine whether dehydrogenation is actually catalyzed by supported-phase indium complexes, or whether it is effected by a low concentration of catalyst that may slowly leach into solution.
