Abstract
Treatment of complexes of type mer-[IrCl3P3](P = PEt3, PMe2Ph, or PEt2Ph) with 2-methylallylmagnesium chloride gives complexes of the type [IrCl2(π-2-methylallyl)P2]. Similarly, treatment of mer-[IrCl3(PEt3)3] with allylmagnesium chloride gives [IrCl2(π-allyl)(PEt3)2] but mer-[IrCl3(PMe2Ph)3] with allylmagnesium chloride gives [IrCl2(σ-allyl)(PMe2Ph)3]. This σ-allyl complex with KOH in methanol gave [IrCl2(π-allyl)(PMe2Ph)2]. Treatment of [IrCl2(π-2-methylallyl)(PMe2Ph)2] with dilute hydrochloric acid gives a bridged chloro-complex, [Ir2Cl6(PMe2Ph)4]. Treatment of [IrCl2(π-2-methylallyl)(PMe2Ph)2] with carbon monoxide gives the σ-2-methylallyl complex [IrCl2(C4H7)(CO)(PMe2Ph)2]. Treatment of mer-[IrCl3(PEt3)3] with 2-methylallylmagnesium chloride gave [Ir(π-2-methylallyl)2(PEt3)2]+ isolated as its tetraphenylborate salt.
