Triply cyclometalated trinuclear iridium(iii) and trinuclear palladium(ii) complexes with a tri-mesoionic carbene ligand†‡
Abstract
The first example of a triply cyclometalated homopolynuclear tri-IrIII complex with additional carbene donors is presented. Cooperative catalysis and the interplay between homogenous and heterogeneous catalyses are discussed for the tri-IrIII complex and a related non-cyclometalated tri-PdII complex.
