Abstract

Abstract Reaction of N-(2′, 6′-dimethylphenyl) pyrrole-2-aldimine (L-Me 2) with Ir (PPh 3) 3 Cl in refluxing toluene affords two organometallic complexes (1 and 2), where the imine- ligand (L-Me 2) is coordinated to the metal center, via N–H and methyl C–H activations, as a di-anionic tridentate NNC-donor, along with two triphenylphosphines. In 1 the sixth coordination site is occupied by a hydride, while in 2 by a chloride. In both cases the ...
