Abstract
The kinetics of ligand substitution for CO on Ir4(CO)12 have been investigated for the ligands P(C4H9)3, P(C6H5)3, P(OC6H5)3, and As(C6H5)3 between 30 and 125 °C. The rates show a dependence on the nature and concentration of the entering ligand with the rate law rate = (k1 + k2[L])[Ir4(CO)l2], For reasonably nucleophilic ligands [P(C4H9)3, P(OC6H5)3, and P(C6H5)3] the second-order term contributes more than 95% of the total rate. The k2 term involves nucleophilic attack at an iridium center, and the k1 term involves CO dissociation. The product of the substitution reaction depends on the ligand and on the reaction conditions. Many of the possible intermediates are identified by infrared spectroscopy. The mechanism of ligand substitution is discussed.
