Abstract
New water soluble alkyl iridium(I) complexes were synthesized and their reaction with small molecules (H2, CO and O2) in DMSO or H2O examined. Hydrogenation of trans-Ir(CH3)(CO)(TPPMSK)2 [TPPMSK = (P(C6H5)2(m-C6H4SO 3K)2] in DMSO produced CH4 and Ir(CO)(H)(TPPMSK)3 as major products. Carbonylation of trans-Ir(CH3)(CO)L2 (L = TPPMSK or TPPMS [TPPMS = P(C6H5)2(m-C6H4SO 3Na)]), in DMSO, produced Ir(C(O)CH3)(CO)2L2. Reactions in water were complicated by rapid hydrolysis of the Ir - CH3 bond forming CH4 and trans-Ir(CO)(OH)L2. The hydrolysis was inhibited by excess L allowing the reactions to be studied in water.
