Abstract

The oxidation of [Ir (Cp*)(phpy)(NCArF)][B (ArF) 4](1; Cp*= η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl, phpy= 2-phenylene-κ C 1′-pyridine-κ N, NCArF= 3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) benzonitrile, B (ArF) 4= tetrakis [3, 5-bis (trifluoromethyl) phenyl] borate) with the oxygen atom transfer (OAT) reagent 2-tert-butylsulfonyliodosobenzene (sPhIO) yielded a single, molecular product at− 40° C. New Ir (Cp*) complexes with bidentate ligands derived by oxidation of ...
