Unusual fragmentation of CH2Cl2 by an Ir(iii) centre bonded to a doubly metalated TpMsLigand (TpMs = hydrotris(3-mesitylpyrazol-1-yl)borate)

Abstract

The Ir(III) compound TpMs″Ir(N2), that contains a pentadentate, doubly metalated 3-mesityl substituted tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand, induces the cleavage of C–H and C–Cl bonds of CH2Cl2 to yield a highly electrophilic chlorocarbene Ir[double bond, length as m-dash]C(H)Cl complex.
