Cp*(Me3P)Ir(CH3)(OTf), a complex known to reversibly activate CH4 and other hydrocarbons under mild conditions, reacts with the phosphorus ylide H2CPPh3 in THF to afford two major species [Cp*(Me3P)(Ph3P)Ir(CH2CH3)][OTf] and [Cp*(Me3P)Ir(H)(η2-CH2CH2)][OTf]. Insertion of the ylide methylene group can also occur with Cp*(Me3P)Ir(Ph)(OTf) to afford the benzyl [Cp*(Me3P)(Ph3P)Ir(CH2Ph)][OTf]. Theoretical
                                    CP *(Me 3 P)Ir(CH 3)(OTf)是一种已知的化合物,可在温和条件下可逆地激活CH 4和其他碳氢化合物,它与THF中的
磷酰化氢H 2 CPPh 3反应生成两种主要物质[CP * (ME 3 P)(PH 3 P)的Ir(CH 2 CH 3)] [光学传递函数]和[*的CP(ME 3 P)的Ir(H)(η 2 -CH 2 CH 2)] [光学传递函数。CP *(Me 3 P)Ir(Ph)(OTf)也可发生内酰胺基的插入,从而得到苄基[CP *(Me 3 P)(Ph 3 P)Ir(CH 2)Ph)] [OTf]。理论研究表明Ir(III)CH 2物种的中介。
