Abstract

Reaction of silanes (HSiR3, R3 = Me2Ph, (OMe)3) with trans-MeIr(CO)[P(p-tolyl)3]2 leads to methane and HIr(SiR3)2(CO)[P(p-tolyl)3]2 through oxidative addition and reductive elimination sequences. These reactions contrast with those involving the addition of silanes to analogous alkoxo iridium complexes. Reaction of Me3SiI with trans-MeIr (CO)[P(p-tolyl)3]2 produces Me4Si and Ir(SiMe3)(CO)[P(p-tolyl)3]2I2 thus providing the first example of oxidative addition of silicon—iodide bonds at ambient conditions. These reactions demonstrate the formation of carbon—hydrogen and silicon-carbon bonds.
