Cationic iridium complexes of the Xantphos ligand. Flexible coordination modes and the isolation of the hydride insertion product with an alkene

Reaction of the Ir(I)-Xantphos complex [Ir(κ2-Xantphos) (COD)][BArF4] (Xantphos = 4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9- dimethylxanthene, ArF = C6H3(CF 3)2) with H2 in acetone or CH 2Cl2/MeCN affords the Ir(III)-hydrido complexes [Ir(κ3-Xantphos)(H)2(L)][BArF4], L = acetone or MeCN, whereas in non-coordin...
