present in the strong base (KOtBu in benzene or toluene), the COD ligand in 1 is deprotonated, followed by β-H elimination of an IrI–C8H11 intermediate, which leads to complex [IrH(1-κ-4,5,6-η3-C8H10)(dppe)] (4) selectively. This is followed by its reversible isomerisation to 5, which features a different relative orientation of the same ligands (k45 = (3.92 ± 0.11) × 10−4 s−1; k5-4 = (1.39 ± 0.12) × 10−4
[IrCl(COD)] 2和 dppe 以 1:2 的比例在三种不同条件下的反应进行了详细研究。[IrCl(COD)(dppe)], 1是在没有碱存在的室温下形成的。在室温下存在强碱的情况下,会生成将碳环
配体保留在配位层中的
氢化物络合物。在
异丙醇中,1在添加 KO t Bu 时转化为 [IrH(1,2,5,6-η 2 :η 2 -COD)(dppe)] ( 2 ) ,其中k 12 = (1.11 ± 0.02) × 10 −4 s −1,随后可逆异构化为[IrH(1-κ-4,5,6-η 3 -C8 H 12 )(dppe)] ( 3 ) 其中k 23 = (3.4 ± 0.2) × 10 −4 s −1和k 32 = (1.1 ± 0.3) × 10 −5 s −1以产生平衡 5 : 95 2和3的混合物。然而,当强碱(苯或
甲苯中的 KO t Bu)中不存在
氢化物源时, 1中的 COD
配体去质子化,随后
