The reactions of Vaska's complex [IrCl(CO)(PPh3)(2)] with 2-(coumaryl-6-azo)imidazole (CZ-H) and its derivatives (CZ-X) have synthesized [Ir(CZ)(CO)(PPh3)(2)] and [Ir(CZ-X)(CO)(PPh3)(2)]. All the complexes have been characterized by FT-IR, UV-Vis, NMR and FAB-MS spectroscopy. The structural confirmation has been done in one case, by a single crystal X-ray diffraction study, which shows a distorted square pyramidal geometry around the central It atom. The complexes are emissive at room temperature. The cyclic voltammetry of the complexes shows a metal centered irreversible oxidation and ligand centered quasireversible reduction couples. To get an insight into the electronic structure, absorption spectra and electrochemical properties, detailed calculations on all three complexes have been performed at the DFT level.
