Article Synopsis
- The reaction of the iridium complex [Tp(Me2)Ir(C2H4)2] with 2,4-pentanedione at 70 °C produces a main product, the Ir(iii) complex [Tp(Me2)Ir(acac)(C2H5)], along with two less abundant side complexes.
- The proposed reaction mechanism involves the formation of an 18-electron intermediate that can lead to various complexes through processes such as hydrogen insertion or β-hydride elimination.
- The resulting iridium compounds show stability in air and moisture, and their structures have been confirmed using techniques like NMR, IR, and X-ray diffraction.
A series of Ru complexes containing lutidine-derived pincer CNC ligands have been prepared by transmetalation with the corresponding silver-carbene derivatives. Characterization of these derivatives shows both mer and fac coordination of the CNC ligands depending on the wingtips of the N-heterocyclic carbene fragments. In the presence of tBuOK, the Ru-CNC complexes are active in the hydrogenation of a series of imines.
