The hydrothermal reaction of indium chlorine, 2,2’‐bipyridine, and 2,3‐pyrazinedicarboxylic acid leads to the generation of a mononuclear In III complex, [In(bpy)(Cl) 2 ]Cl · 0.5pz · H 2 O ( 1 ) (bpy = 2,2’‐bipyridine, pz = pyrazine). X‐ray diffraction analysis indicates that compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic system Pbca space group with a = 12.667(3) Å, b = 15.269(3) Å, c = 15.859(3) Å, V = 3067.4(11) Å 3 and Z = 8. These discrete units are linked by the hydrogen bondings and C ··· H–π stacking interactions to form a 3D network. It is interesting to find that the in situ decarboxylation of 2,3‐pyrazinedicarboxylic acid into pz ligand was observed.
