Cp*Ir and CpIr complexes have attracted interest as catalysts for oxidative transformations, and highly oxidizing iridium species are postulated as key intermediates in both catalytic water and C-H bond oxidation. Strongly electron-donating ligand sets have been shown to stabilize Ir complexes. We describe the synthesis and reactivity of complexes containing the CpIr(biphenyl-2,2'-diyl) moiety stabilized by a series of strong donor carbon-based ligands. The oxidation chemistry of these complexes has been characterized electrochemically, and a singly oxidized Ir species has been observed by X-band EPR for the complex CpIr(biph)(CNCHSOCHCH).
茂环戊二烯基铱(Cp*Ir)和茂环戊二烯基铱(CpIr)配合物作为氧化转化催化剂已引起关注,高氧化性铱物种被假定为催化水氧化和碳氢键氧化的关键中间体。已表明强给电子配体基团可稳定铱配合物。我们描述了含有由一系列强给电子碳基配体稳定的CpIr(联苯-2,2'-二基)部分的配合物的合成及反应活性。这些配合物的氧化化学性质已通过电化学进行了表征,并且通过X波段电子顺磁共振(EPR)观察到配合物CpIr(联苯)(氰基甲基磺酰基氧代环己烯)存在单氧化态铱物种。
