Abstract

Two hydride compounds with aliphatic pincer ligands, (PCyP)IrH2 (PCyP = {cis-1,3-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane}- (1) and (PCyP)IrH4 (2), have been studied, with emphasis on features where such systems differ from arene-based analogues. Both compounds reveal relatively rapid exchange between α-C-H and Ir-H, which can occur via formation of carbene or through demetalation, with nearly equal barriers. This observation is confirmed by deuterium incorporation into the α-C-H position. Complex 1 can reversibly add an N2 molecule, which competes with the α-agostic bond for a coordination site at iridium. The hydrogen binding mode in tetrahydride 2 is discussed on the basis of NMR and... (More)

Two hydride compounds with aliphatic pincer ligands, (PCyP)IrH2 (PCyP = {cis-1,3-bis[(di-tert-butylphosphino)methyl]cyclohexane}- (1) and (PCyP)IrH4 (2), have been studied, with emphasis on features where such systems differ from arene-based analogues. Both compounds reveal relatively rapid exchange between α-C-H and Ir-H, which can occur via formation of carbene or through demetalation, with nearly equal barriers. This observation is confirmed by deuterium incorporation into the α-C-H position. Complex 1 can reversibly add an N2 molecule, which competes with the α-agostic bond for a coordination site at iridium. The hydrogen binding mode in tetrahydride 2 is discussed on the basis of NMR and IR spectra, as well as DFT calculations. While the interpretation of the data is somewhat ambiguous, the best model seems to be a tetrahydride with minor contribution from a dihydrido-dihydrogen complex. In addition, the catalytic activity of 1 in deuterium exchange using benzene-d6 as a deuterium source is presented.
