New Dinuclear Iridium(II) Complexes Arising by Oxidative Addition of I2 to [Ir2(μ‐StBu)2 (CO)2L2]

Abstract
The small family of iridium (II) complexes has increased in size. In the case of (1), L = CO and L = PMe3, the reaction shown below leads to two isomers each, which do not interconvert. The product having L = PMe2Ph has been characterized by X‐ray structure analysis. equation image
