A convenient route to a norbornadiene adduct of iridium with chelating phosphines, [Ir(R2PCH2CH2PR2)(NBD)][BAr4F] and a comparison of reactivity with H2 in solution and the solid-state

The straightforward synthesis of two cationic iridium norbornadiene species bearing simple bidentate phosphines is reported [Ir(R2PCH2CH2PR2)(NBD)][BAr4F] [NBD = norbornadiene; R = tBu, Cy; ArF = 3,5-C6H3(CF3)2]. The hydrogenation of [Ir(tBu2PCH2CH2PtBu2)(NBD)][BAr4F] in the solution phase and in th...
