Chlorido(?-1,5-cyclo-octa-diene)[(penta-fluoro-eth-yl)diphenyl-phosphane]iridium(I).


ABSTRACT: The title structure,[IrCl(C(8)H(12))(C(14)H(10)F(5)P)], reveals that (C(2)F(5))PPh(2) (penta-fluoro-ethyl-diphenyl-phosphane or pfepp) disrupts the iridium dimer [(cod)IrCl](2) (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) by rupturing the bridging chloride ligands and binding in the open coordination site to form (cod)Ir(pfepp)Cl with the Ir(I) atom in a distorted square-planar coordination environment. The structure deviates very little from the Ir(I)-triphenyl-phosphine analog, although a significantly (?20?) shorter Ir-P bond is noted for the title compound.
