The pyrochlore iridate In2Ir2O7 is a Jeff = 1/2 Mott insulator with frustrated magnetism. Despite the large trigonal distortion, only a small admixture of Jeff = 3/2 component in the Jeff = 1/2 bands is observed as compared with other pyrochlore iridates A2Ir2O7 (A = trivalent cation). We argue that the reduced intersite hopping between the Jeff = 1/2 and the Jeff = 3/2 manifold, due to the large trigonal distortion and the covalent character of In-O bonds, plays a predominant role in the distinct behavior of In2Ir2O7. Such effect of the intersite hopping should not be dismissed in the local physics of Jeff = 1/2 Mott insulators.
Almost pure Jeff = 1/2 Mott state of In2Ir2O7 in the limit of reduced intersite hopping
