Abstract
Styrene reacts with complexes [IrH2S2L2]BF4 to give [Ir(η6-PhEt)L2]BF4(S = H2O or Me2CO; L = PPh3): this accounts for the failure of styrene to act as a hydrogen acceptor in our related alkane activation system, and may account for the anomalously low hydrogenation rates observed for styrene using [Ir(cod)-(PMePh2)2]PF6 as catalyst precursor.Keywords
