While the hydrogenation outcome followed dependences upon gas composition, pressure and temperature similar to those of other efficient systems in DMSO/H 2 O, the kinetic dependence upon catalyst loading revealed non-linear effects suggestive of relevant IL-catalyst interactions. NMR speciation studies identified two major complexes, [Ir (OCHO)(H){κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }] (2) and [Ir(H) 2 {κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }(DMSO)] (3), potentially responsible for catalytic cycling though inactive outside the current solvent system.

The experimental kinetics of the key alkenyl-to-alkynyl step in the acetate complex are compared to the results of DFT calculations, which disclose the ability of the acetate not only to assist the alkyne C−H activation step via a CMD mechanism, but also to subsequently deliver the proton to the alkenyl ligand. Possible consequences of this mechanistic resource connecting mutually trans ligands are briefly discussed on the basis of reported chemoselectivity changes induced by carboxylate ligands in 1-alkyne hydrosilylations catalyzed by this type of ruthenium complexes.

Substituting the chloride ligand with triflate leads to the five-coordinate complex [IrH{κO-O3S(CF3)}{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C6H4-2-PiPr2)2}] (2), which can undergo reversible coordination of water (H2O) or dihydrogen (H2) to generate respectively the cationic derivative [IrH{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C6H4-2-PiPr2)2}(OH2)2](CF3SO3) (3) or the neutral trans-hydride-dihydrogen [IrH{κO-O3S(CF3)}{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C6H4-2-PiPr2)2}(η(2)-H2)] (6) in equilibrium. The use of acetonitrile or carbon monoxide (CO) excess instead of water produces stable analogues of 3 (complexes 4 or 5, respectively). The reaction between 1 and NaBH4 affords the tetrahydroborate derivative [IrH{κ(2)H-H2BH2}{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C6H4-2-PiPr2)2}] (7), which can be protonated with triflic acid to form 2 or with HBF4 to give the dinuclear cationic derivative [(μ:κ(2)H,κ(2)H-BH4)[IrH{κP,P,Si-Si(Me...

In contrast, the neutral and cationic acetonitrile derivatives [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }Cl(NCMe) 2 ] (3) and [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }(NCMe) 3 ](CF 3 SO 3) (4), respectively, show the PSiP pincer coordinated in the more usual mer fashion. Crystal structures determined by X-ray diffraction are shown for complexes 5, 6 and 7. The factors that influence the choice of coordination mode for the PSiP ligand are discussed.

The former stops at the reagent coordination step forming the mononuclear η 2 alkyne complex [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }Cl{η 2-HC≡CC(OH)Me 2 }] (2) while the latter sequentially produces the allene derivative [Ru(Cl) 2 {κP,P-Si(Me)(1,2-η-CH=C=CMe 2)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }] (3) and its alkenylcarbyne isomer [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }(Cl) 2 (≡CCH=CMe 2)] (4). The structures of complexes 3 and 4 indicate that the allenyl fragment that results from the activation of the propargylic chloride uses the Ru-Si bond of the pincer complex to tautomerize into an alkenylcarbyne ligand.

Os conhecidos hidretos de irídio(III) [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (... more Os conhecidos hidretos de irídio(III) [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)] BF 4 , [IrH(E-CH=CHPh)(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 e [IrH{C(Ph)=CH 2 }(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , derivados do precursor catalítico tipo Crabtree [Ir(cod)(NCMe)(PiPr 3)]BF 4 , foram investigados em reações com substratos tipicamente envolvidos na catálise homogênea de hidrogenação. Novos complexos como as espécies tris-etileno irídio(I) [Ir(NCMe)(h 2-C 2 H 4) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , os produtos de inserção de difenilacetileno [IrH{Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 e [Ir(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh} (NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , e os derivados de [Ir(k 2 O-acac)(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(PiPr 3)] e [Ir{k 2 CC 6 H 4-2-E-(CH=CPh)}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , foram caracterizados. O conjunto de observações experimentais sugere que espécies irídio(I), embora acessíveis, são improváveis como intermediários de hidrogenação. Baseados em experimentos de deuteração, uma nova tautomerização do hidreto de alquenil a carbeno foi proposta. The known iridium(III) hydrides [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)] BF 4 , [IrH(E-CH=CHPh)(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 and [IrH{C(Ph)=CH 2 }(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , derived from the Crabtree-type catalyst precursor [Ir(cod)(NCMe)(PiPr 3)]BF 4 , have been investigated in reactions with substrates typically involved in homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations. New complexes such as the iridium(I) tris-ethylene species [Ir(NCMe)(h 2-C 2 H 4) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , the products of diphenylacetylene insertion [IrH{Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 and [Ir(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , and the derivatives of the latter [Ir(k 2 O-acac) (h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(PiPr 3)] and [Ir{k 2 CC 6 H 4-2-E-(CH=CPh)}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , have been characterized. The set of experimental observations suggests that iridium(I) species, though accessible, are unlikely hydrogenation intermediates. On the basis of deuteration experiments, a new hydride-alkenyl to carbene tautomerization is proposed.

The structure of 2 was determined by X-ray diffraction. An electrostatic potential calculation located three terminal hydride ligands and one hydride bridging both iridium centers. The feasibility of this arrangement was studied by EHMO calculations. The spectroscopic data for 2 show that the complex is rigid in solution on the NMR time scale. In solution, the acetonitrile ligand of 2 dissociates. The activation parameters for this dissociation process in toluene-d 8 are ∆H q) 20.9 (0.6 kcal mol-1 and ∆S q) 2.5 (1.3 e.u. Reaction of 2 with various Lewis bases (L) gives the substitution products [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 3 (L)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (L) C 2 H 4 (3), CO (4), HPz (5)). The reaction of complex 5 with C 2 H 4 yields the ethyl derivative [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 (C 2 H 5)H 2 (HPz)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (6); this reaction is reversible. Complexes 2 and 3 react with CHCl 3 to give CH 2 Cl 2 and the compounds [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 2 (Cl)(L)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (L) NCCH 3 (7), C 2 H 4 (8)). In the 1 H NMR spectra of 2-6, the signal of the bridging hydride ligand shows two very different J HP couplings; in contrast, for the chloride complexes 7 and 8, two equal J HP couplings are observed. NOE and T 1 measurements lead to the conclusion that in complexes 2-6 the hydride bridges the iridium centers in a nonsymmetric fashion, whereas for 7 and 8 the bridge is symmetrical. This structural feature largely influences the reactivity. Compounds 2 and 3 undergo H/D exchange under a D 2 atmosphere. Analysis of the isotopomeric mixtures of 2 reveals downfield isotopic shifts in the 31 P{ 1 H} NMR spectrum. Downfield as well as high-field shifts are found for the hydride signals in the 1 H NMR spectrum of partially deuterated 2. Further reaction of 3 with H 2 gave ethane and the dihydrogen complex [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 3 (η 2-H 2)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (9). Under a deficiency of H 2 , in toluened 8 solution, 9 undergoes H/D scrambling with the participation of the solvent. It has also been found that under H 2 complex 3 catalyzes the hydrogenation of cyclohexene.

All these reactions are initiated by an intramolecular C-H activation of the COD ligand and followed by either inter-or intramolecular insertion, or reductive elimination and further C-H activation elementary steps. Compound 1 has also been observed to undergo facile intermolecular oxidative additions of dihydrogen, hydrosilanes, and phenylacetylene to afford iridium(III) hydride complexes. Evidence for the insertion of COD into the Ir-H bonds of these new complexes has been obtained from the isolation of a monohydride complex containing a κ,η 2-cyclooctenyl ligand, from the isomerization of a silyl derivative into analogues containing 1,4-and 1,3cycloctadiene ligands, and from the occurrence of H/D scrambling among Ir-H and COD C-H sites in the product of DCtCPh oxidative addition. Si-Si coupling reactions to give disilanes and CC coupling reactions to give an iridacyclopentadiene complex and 1,2,4triphenylbenzene have also been observed in silane and phenylacetylene excess, respectively. Competition of all these intra-and intermolecular reactions under the conditions of phenylacetylene hydrosilylation has been found to result in catalytic reactions, the selectivity of which depends on the presence of introduced acetonitrile and its concentration.

The structure, coordination properties, insertion processes, and dynamic behavior in solution of ... more The structure, coordination properties, insertion processes, and dynamic behavior in solution of the five-coordinate complexes [IrXH(biPSi)] (biPSi) κ-P,P,Si-Si(Me){(CH 2) 3 PPh 2 } 2 ; X) Cl (1), Br (2), or I (3)) have been investigated. The compounds are formed as mixtures of two isomers, anti and syn, in slow equilibrium in solution. The equilibrium position depends on the halogen and the solvent. Both isomers display distorted square-based pyramidal structures in which the vacant position sits trans to silicon. The equatorial plane of the syn isomer is closer to the T structure due to distortions of steric origin. The small structural differences between the isomers trigger remarkable differences in reactivity. The syn isomers form six-coordinate adducts with chlorinated solvents, CO, P(OMe) 3 , or NCMe, always after ligand coordination trans to silicon. The anti isomers do not form detectable adducts with chlorinated solvents and coordinate CO or P(OMe) 3 either trans to silicon (kinetic) or trans to hydride (thermodynamic). NCMe coordinates the anti isomers exclusively at the position trans to hydride. Qualitative and quantitative details (equilibrium constants, enthalpies, entropies, etc.) on these coordination processes are given and discussed. As a result of the different coordination properties, insertion reagents such as acetylene, diphenylacetylene, or the alkylidene resulting from the decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate selectively insert into the Ir-H bond of 1-syn, not into that of 1-anti. These reactions give five-coordinate syn alkenyl or alkyl compounds in which the vacancy also sits trans to silicon. Acetylene is polymerized in the coordination sphere of 1. The nonreactive isomer 1-anti also evolves into the syn insertion products via antiTsyn isomerizations, the rates of which are notably dependent on the nature of the insertion reactants. H 2 renders antiTsyn isomerization rates of the same order as the NMR time scale. The reactions are second order (k obs) k(antiTsyn)[H 2 ]) and do not involve H 2 /IrH hydrogen atom scrambling. A possible isomerization mechanism, supported by MP2 calculations and compatible with the various experimental observations, is described. It involves Ir(V) intermediates and a key σ Ir-(η 2-SiH) agostic transition state. A similar transition state could also explain the antiTsyn isomerizations in the absence of oxidative addition reactants, although at the expense of high kinetic barriers strongly dependent on the presence of potential ligands and their nature.

The formed products depend upon the olefin of the dimer, which governs the kinetic preference of the activation. The cyclooctene complex 1 reacts with the substituted heterocycle to give (η 2-C 8 H 14) 2 Ir(μ-Cl) 2 Ir{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]} 2 (3), in acetone, at room temperature. Treatment of 3 with K(acac) affords Ir(acac)(η 2-C 8 H 14) 2 (4) and Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]} 2 (5; acac = acetylacetone). Under more severe conditions, 2-ethoxyethanol under reflux, the reaction of 1 with the heterocycle gives a yellow solid, which yields a 5:82:7 mixture of 5, Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]}{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]} (6), and Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]} 2 (7) by reaction with K(acac). In acetone or toluene, at room temperature, 2-(2-bromophenyl)pyridine breaks the chloride bridges of dimer 2 to form IrCl(η 4-C 8 H 12){κ 1-N-[py-C 6 BrH 4 ]} (8), which evolves into IrClBr{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]}(η 4-C 8 H 12) (9) as a result of the oxidative addition of the ortho-CBr of the phenyl substituent to the metal center. Treatment of 9 with Ag 2 O in acetylacetone leads to Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]}{κ 1-C, η 2-[C 8 H 12-(C 3-acac)]} (10), as a consequence of the replacement of the halides by an O,O-chelate acac ligand and the outside to metal nucleophilic attack of a second acac group to the diene C−C double bond disposed trans to bromide.

The former stops at the reagent coordination step forming the mononuclear η 2 alkyne complex [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }Cl{η 2-HC≡CC(OH)Me 2 }] (2) while the latter sequentially produces the allene derivative [Ru(Cl) 2 {κP,P-Si(Me)(1,2-η-CH=C=CMe 2)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }] (3) and its alkenylcarbyne isomer [Ru{κP,P,Si-Si(Me)(C 6 H 4-2-PiPr 2) 2 }(Cl) 2 (≡CCH=CMe 2)] (4). The structures of complexes 3 and 4 indicate that the allenyl fragment that results from the activation of the propargylic chloride uses the Ru-Si bond of the pincer complex to tautomerize into an alkenylcarbyne ligand.

Os conhecidos hidretos de irídio(III) [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (... more Os conhecidos hidretos de irídio(III) [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)] BF 4 , [IrH(E-CH=CHPh)(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 e [IrH{C(Ph)=CH 2 }(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , derivados do precursor catalítico tipo Crabtree [Ir(cod)(NCMe)(PiPr 3)]BF 4 , foram investigados em reações com substratos tipicamente envolvidos na catálise homogênea de hidrogenação. Novos complexos como as espécies tris-etileno irídio(I) [Ir(NCMe)(h 2-C 2 H 4) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , os produtos de inserção de difenilacetileno [IrH{Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 e [Ir(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh} (NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , e os derivados de [Ir(k 2 O-acac)(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(PiPr 3)] e [Ir{k 2 CC 6 H 4-2-E-(CH=CPh)}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , foram caracterizados. O conjunto de observações experimentais sugere que espécies irídio(I), embora acessíveis, são improváveis como intermediários de hidrogenação. Baseados em experimentos de deuteração, uma nova tautomerização do hidreto de alquenil a carbeno foi proposta. The known iridium(III) hydrides [IrH 2 (NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , [IrH(h 3-C 3 H 5)(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)] BF 4 , [IrH(E-CH=CHPh)(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 and [IrH{C(Ph)=CH 2 }(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , derived from the Crabtree-type catalyst precursor [Ir(cod)(NCMe)(PiPr 3)]BF 4 , have been investigated in reactions with substrates typically involved in homogeneous catalytic hydrogenations. New complexes such as the iridium(I) tris-ethylene species [Ir(NCMe)(h 2-C 2 H 4) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , the products of diphenylacetylene insertion [IrH{Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 and [Ir(h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(NCMe) 2 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , and the derivatives of the latter [Ir(k 2 O-acac) (h 3-C 3 H 5){Z-C(Ph)=CHPh}(PiPr 3)] and [Ir{k 2 CC 6 H 4-2-E-(CH=CPh)}(NCMe) 3 (PiPr 3)]BF 4 , have been characterized. The set of experimental observations suggests that iridium(I) species, though accessible, are unlikely hydrogenation intermediates. On the basis of deuteration experiments, a new hydride-alkenyl to carbene tautomerization is proposed.

The structure of 2 was determined by X-ray diffraction. An electrostatic potential calculation located three terminal hydride ligands and one hydride bridging both iridium centers. The feasibility of this arrangement was studied by EHMO calculations. The spectroscopic data for 2 show that the complex is rigid in solution on the NMR time scale. In solution, the acetonitrile ligand of 2 dissociates. The activation parameters for this dissociation process in toluene-d 8 are ∆H q) 20.9 (0.6 kcal mol-1 and ∆S q) 2.5 (1.3 e.u. Reaction of 2 with various Lewis bases (L) gives the substitution products [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 3 (L)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (L) C 2 H 4 (3), CO (4), HPz (5)). The reaction of complex 5 with C 2 H 4 yields the ethyl derivative [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 (C 2 H 5)H 2 (HPz)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (6); this reaction is reversible. Complexes 2 and 3 react with CHCl 3 to give CH 2 Cl 2 and the compounds [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 2 (Cl)(L)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (L) NCCH 3 (7), C 2 H 4 (8)). In the 1 H NMR spectra of 2-6, the signal of the bridging hydride ligand shows two very different J HP couplings; in contrast, for the chloride complexes 7 and 8, two equal J HP couplings are observed. NOE and T 1 measurements lead to the conclusion that in complexes 2-6 the hydride bridges the iridium centers in a nonsymmetric fashion, whereas for 7 and 8 the bridge is symmetrical. This structural feature largely influences the reactivity. Compounds 2 and 3 undergo H/D exchange under a D 2 atmosphere. Analysis of the isotopomeric mixtures of 2 reveals downfield isotopic shifts in the 31 P{ 1 H} NMR spectrum. Downfield as well as high-field shifts are found for the hydride signals in the 1 H NMR spectrum of partially deuterated 2. Further reaction of 3 with H 2 gave ethane and the dihydrogen complex [Ir 2 (µ-H)(µ-Pz) 2 H 3 (η 2-H 2)(P i Pr 3) 2 ] (9). Under a deficiency of H 2 , in toluened 8 solution, 9 undergoes H/D scrambling with the participation of the solvent. It has also been found that under H 2 complex 3 catalyzes the hydrogenation of cyclohexene.

All these reactions are initiated by an intramolecular C-H activation of the COD ligand and followed by either inter-or intramolecular insertion, or reductive elimination and further C-H activation elementary steps. Compound 1 has also been observed to undergo facile intermolecular oxidative additions of dihydrogen, hydrosilanes, and phenylacetylene to afford iridium(III) hydride complexes. Evidence for the insertion of COD into the Ir-H bonds of these new complexes has been obtained from the isolation of a monohydride complex containing a κ,η 2-cyclooctenyl ligand, from the isomerization of a silyl derivative into analogues containing 1,4-and 1,3cycloctadiene ligands, and from the occurrence of H/D scrambling among Ir-H and COD C-H sites in the product of DCtCPh oxidative addition. Si-Si coupling reactions to give disilanes and CC coupling reactions to give an iridacyclopentadiene complex and 1,2,4triphenylbenzene have also been observed in silane and phenylacetylene excess, respectively. Competition of all these intra-and intermolecular reactions under the conditions of phenylacetylene hydrosilylation has been found to result in catalytic reactions, the selectivity of which depends on the presence of introduced acetonitrile and its concentration.

The structure, coordination properties, insertion processes, and dynamic behavior in solution of ... more The structure, coordination properties, insertion processes, and dynamic behavior in solution of the five-coordinate complexes [IrXH(biPSi)] (biPSi) κ-P,P,Si-Si(Me){(CH 2) 3 PPh 2 } 2 ; X) Cl (1), Br (2), or I (3)) have been investigated. The compounds are formed as mixtures of two isomers, anti and syn, in slow equilibrium in solution. The equilibrium position depends on the halogen and the solvent. Both isomers display distorted square-based pyramidal structures in which the vacant position sits trans to silicon. The equatorial plane of the syn isomer is closer to the T structure due to distortions of steric origin. The small structural differences between the isomers trigger remarkable differences in reactivity. The syn isomers form six-coordinate adducts with chlorinated solvents, CO, P(OMe) 3 , or NCMe, always after ligand coordination trans to silicon. The anti isomers do not form detectable adducts with chlorinated solvents and coordinate CO or P(OMe) 3 either trans to silicon (kinetic) or trans to hydride (thermodynamic). NCMe coordinates the anti isomers exclusively at the position trans to hydride. Qualitative and quantitative details (equilibrium constants, enthalpies, entropies, etc.) on these coordination processes are given and discussed. As a result of the different coordination properties, insertion reagents such as acetylene, diphenylacetylene, or the alkylidene resulting from the decomposition of ethyl diazoacetate selectively insert into the Ir-H bond of 1-syn, not into that of 1-anti. These reactions give five-coordinate syn alkenyl or alkyl compounds in which the vacancy also sits trans to silicon. Acetylene is polymerized in the coordination sphere of 1. The nonreactive isomer 1-anti also evolves into the syn insertion products via antiTsyn isomerizations, the rates of which are notably dependent on the nature of the insertion reactants. H 2 renders antiTsyn isomerization rates of the same order as the NMR time scale. The reactions are second order (k obs) k(antiTsyn)[H 2 ]) and do not involve H 2 /IrH hydrogen atom scrambling. A possible isomerization mechanism, supported by MP2 calculations and compatible with the various experimental observations, is described. It involves Ir(V) intermediates and a key σ Ir-(η 2-SiH) agostic transition state. A similar transition state could also explain the antiTsyn isomerizations in the absence of oxidative addition reactants, although at the expense of high kinetic barriers strongly dependent on the presence of potential ligands and their nature.

The formed products depend upon the olefin of the dimer, which governs the kinetic preference of the activation. The cyclooctene complex 1 reacts with the substituted heterocycle to give (η 2-C 8 H 14) 2 Ir(μ-Cl) 2 Ir{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]} 2 (3), in acetone, at room temperature. Treatment of 3 with K(acac) affords Ir(acac)(η 2-C 8 H 14) 2 (4) and Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]} 2 (5; acac = acetylacetone). Under more severe conditions, 2-ethoxyethanol under reflux, the reaction of 1 with the heterocycle gives a yellow solid, which yields a 5:82:7 mixture of 5, Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 BrH 3-py]}{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]} (6), and Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]} 2 (7) by reaction with K(acac). In acetone or toluene, at room temperature, 2-(2-bromophenyl)pyridine breaks the chloride bridges of dimer 2 to form IrCl(η 4-C 8 H 12){κ 1-N-[py-C 6 BrH 4 ]} (8), which evolves into IrClBr{κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]}(η 4-C 8 H 12) (9) as a result of the oxidative addition of the ortho-CBr of the phenyl substituent to the metal center. Treatment of 9 with Ag 2 O in acetylacetone leads to Ir(acac){κ 2-C,N-[C 6 H 4-py]}{κ 1-C, η 2-[C 8 H 12-(C 3-acac)]} (10), as a consequence of the replacement of the halides by an O,O-chelate acac ligand and the outside to metal nucleophilic attack of a second acac group to the diene C−C double bond disposed trans to bromide.
