A tight-binding total energy calculation shows that the possible hydrogen-indium bond in InP is long and weak whereas hydrogen-phosphorus bond is short and strong. The model explains the known experimental data, especially the lack of local vibrational modes of InH in InP implanted with protons and hydrogen passivation of acceptors but not donors in InP.
