Synthesis and characterisation of iridium carbonyl fluorides

Abstract
Tetrairidium dodecacarbonyl reacted with XeF2 in anhydrous HF solution at low temperatures via sequential fluorination yielding initially fac- and mer-[IrF3(CO)3] and finally IrF5. The novel 18-electron iridium carbonyl fluorides have been characterised by a combination of IR spectroscopy, 13C, 13C-{19F} and 19F NMR spectroscopies and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy studies in HF solution.
