Carbon–hydrogen bond cleavage in metal complexes: X-ray study of the geometry of iridium-ortho-carbon (aryl) bonds in IrCl[P(OPh)2(OC6H4)]2P(OPh)3
Abstract
The presence of metal-o-carbon bonds in the title compound, prepared by heating IrHCl2[P(OPh)3]3 with boiling decalin, has been confirmed by X-ray analysis.
