Iridium–maleoyl complexes from tricarbonyliridium halides and acetylenes
Abstract
Reaction of [Ir(CO)3X](X = Br or Cl) with diphenylacetylene and with hex-3-yne gives the polymeric cyclic diacyl compounds [Ir{R2C2(CO)2}(CO)X]n(R = Ph or Et) which depolymerize with various ligands giving monomeric cyclomaleoyl complexes of iridium(III).
