Abstract
Square-planar iridium complexes of the large but strongly donating PCy3 (Cy = cyclohexyl) ligand, trans-Ir(CO)(Cl)(PCy3)2 and trans-Ir(CO)(OH)(PCy3)2, have been reacted with the molecules O2, H2, Cl2, and SO2. In comparison to the analogous PPh3 complexes, the presence of PCy3 inhibits reactions with H2 and O2 but has little effect on reactions with Cl2 and SO2. In the latter two reactions the greater electron density compensates for the larger size of the PCy3 ligands. Reaction of SO2 with trans-Ir(CO)(OH)(PCy3)2 leads to an oxygen-coordinated hydrogen sulfite ligand, and the structure was determined. The molecules exist in the crystals as weakly bound dimers.
