Formation and ethene substrate reactions of iridium(ii) porphyrin metal-centered dπ radicals

Abstract

Monomeric iridium(II) porphyrin complexes of tetrakis(2,4,6-trialkylphenyl)porphyrin ligands that are generated by photolysis of the Ir–Me derivatives are found to have the dxy2 dz22 dxz,yz3 ground electron configuration which differs from the dxy2 dxz,yz4 dz21 configuration observed for the Co(II) and Rh(II) analogs; reactions of these Ir(II) species with ethene reflect both the metallo-radical reactivity and the varying steric demands for the series of porphyrin ligands.
