Abstract
Passage of acetylene through a refluxing solution of [6,6,6-(PPh3)(Ph2P-o-[graphic omitted]5] in benzene results in cluster condensation to yield air-stable pale yellow [10-(PPh3)-2,2,2-(PH3)2(Ph2 P-o-[graphic omitted]](yield 47% based on Ir; 95% based on P) which exhibits two Ir-bound PH3 ligands arising from the reductive PPh3→ PH3 stripping of phenyl groups from the Ir-bound PPh3 ligands of the starting complex.Keywords
