Two-centre oxidative addition of hexafluorobut-2-yne to a bis(μ-pyrazolyl)di-iridium(I) complex leading to bridge-elimination via H-transfer from co-ordinated cyclo-octa-1,5-diene: X-ray crystal structure of a mixed-bridge, mixed-valence iridium dimer incorporating a 1-3,5,6-η-C 8H11 ligand

Abstract

Reaction of the unsymmetrically-bridged di-iridium(I) complex [(cod)Ir(μ-pz)(μ-fpz)Ir(cod)], [cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene; pzH = pyrazole; fpzH = 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)pyrazole] with hexafluorobut-2-yne (C4F6) leads to bridge-replacement of μ-fpz by C 4F6; the latter is incorporated in a parallel-type bonding mode to give a di-iridium product having Ir-Ir 2.85 Å and one Ir centre terminally co-ordinated by a 1-3,5,6-η-C8H11 (i.e. -dienyl) unit.
