25. Some metallic indium had remained in one case of 1/In = 1:1, and almost all indium was consumed in a case of of 1/In = 1.5:1.
26. 2O = 2:1, v/v) was added to a solution of the in situ generated allylindium compounds (mixture of 2/3), no decomposition was observed at room temp, after 1 h. After ca. 10 h, the amount of 3 had slightly decreased. Therefore, 2 and 3 are independent species, and the generated allylindium compounds are relatively stable in water.
27. a) In a related system with allylindium, the structure of propargylindium generated under reductive conditions was reported based on X-ray analysis: B. Xu, M. S. Mashuta, G. B. Hammond, Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2006, 45, 7265-7267;

29. n after recrystallization was not obtained because of the small amount available. An alternative method by transmetallation proved the formation of a monoallylindium species.

33. Because the solvent effect might be important for the generation of allylindium compounds, the reductive formation of allylindium compounds in aqueous media would be another interesting topic worthy of investigation.
