Mono- and diprotonation of dihydropyrene, 2,7-di-tert-butyl-dihydropyrene,and their conversion to pyrenium ions; Influence of the radical cation and its potential utility in NMR assignments of the arenium ions of readily oxidizable PAHs

Parent dihydropyrene 1 and 2,7-di-tert-butyldihydropyrene 3 are monoprotonated with FSO₃H/SO₂CIF to give their persistent monoarenium ions 1H ⁺ and 3H ⁺ by the attack of proton at C-3 (peri to the ethano-bridge not at C-1 as previously suggested). Dihydropyrene 3 is diprotonated in FSO₃H.SbF₅ 1∶1 “Magic Acid”^R/SO₂CIF to give the symmetrical dication 3H ₂ ⁺², similar diprotonation of 1 with “Magic Acid”/SO₂CIF or with FSO₃H.SbF₅ (4∶1)/SO₂CIF gave the diprotonated species 1H ₂ ⁺² in a mixture. NMR characteristics of the mono- and dications are discussed. On raising temperature or on prolonged cold storage, 1H ⁺ and 3H ⁺ are converted to their corresponding pyrenium cations (2H ⁺ and 4H ⁺). Formation of 2H ⁺ from 1 is more rapid than conversion of 3 to 4H ⁺. Parent pyrenium cation was independently generated by protonation with FSO₃H/SO₂CIF. When a mixture of 2 and 1 is reacted with FSO₃H/SO₂CIF (dry ice/acetone temperature) only 2H ⁺ is seen in the NMR (concomitant presence of the radical cation 1 ⁺⁺ is inferred from EPR). Similar protonation of a mixture of 6-chlorochrysene 5 and 1 with FSO₃H/SO₂CIF leads to NMR observation of 1H ⁺ (with concomitant presence of 5 ⁺⁺); on raising temperature 1H ⁺ is converted to 2H ⁺. The nature of the paramagnetic radical cation (RC) present in the arenium ion samples influences the position, and resolution of the NMR spectra. This approach may prove useful in NMR studies of large polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons PAHs where concomitant RC formation greatly diminishes the quality of the NMR spectra.     

Advantages of the Ns group in the reactions of N-SO2R inosines with benzylamine and with NH3

The reactivity of N¹-alkylsulfonyl- and N¹-arylsulfonyl-2′,3′,5′-tri-O-acetylinosine with benzylamine and with ¹⁵NH₃, regarding the attack on C2, has been shown to be in the order CF₃SO₂ (Tf) > 2,4-(NO₂)₂C₆H₃SO₂ (DNs) ? 4-NO₂C₆H₄SO₂ (pNs) ≈ C₆F₅SO₂ (PFBs) > 2-NO₂C₆H₄SO₂ (Ns) ? CH₃SO₂ (Ms) > 4-CH₃C₆H₄SO₂ (Ts) > 2,4,6-(CH₃)₃C₆H₂SO₂ (Mts). In spite of its intermediate reactivity, the Ns group is the most appropriate, since in this case the formation of by-products is minimised during the ring-opening and ring-closing steps of the process. Another advantage of the Ns group is thus disclosed.

The lanthanide sulphate octahydrates Ln₂(SO₄)₃·8H₂O (Ln=Ho, Tm) and the respective tetrahydrate Pr₂(SO₄)₃·4H₂O were obtained by evaporation of aqueous reaction mixtures of trivalent rare earth oxides and sulphuric acid at 300 K. Ln₂(SO₄)₃·8H₂O (Ln=Ho, Tm) crystallise in space group C2/c (Z=4, a_Ho=13.4421(4) Å, b_Ho=6.6745(2) Å, c_Ho=18.1642(5) Å, β_Ho=102.006(1) Å³ and a_Tm=13.4118(14) Å, b_Tm=6.6402(6) Å, c_Tm=18.1040(16) Å, β_Tm=101.980(8) Å³), Pr₂(SO₄)₃·4H₂O adopts space group P2₁/n (a=13.051(3) Å, b=7.2047(14) Å, c=13.316(3) Å, β=92.55(3) Å³). The vibrational and optical spectra of Ho₂(SO₄)₃·8H₂O and Pr₂(SO₄)₃·4H₂O are also reported.     

Synthese und eigenschaften neur kupfer- und gold-komplexe des typs C5H5MPR3, C5Me5MPR3 und R″C2MPR3 (M = Cu,Au) sowie die kristallstruktur von C5H5AuPPr3i

The complexes C₅H₅CuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ), C₅H₅AuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ), C₅Me₅CuPR₃ (R = Me, Prⁱ, Ph) and C₅Me₅AuPR₃ (R = Prⁱ, Ph) are prepared from [ClCuPR₃]_n or ClAuPR₃ and LiC₅H₅ (TlC₅H₅) or LiC₅Me₅, respectively. According to the ¹H and ¹³C NMR spectra, the cyclopentadienyl and pentamethylcyclopentadienylgold compounds are fluxional in solution. The X-ray crystal structure of C₅H₅AuPPr₃ⁱ has been determined at ?120°C. The gold atom is in a linear arrangement (PAuC(1) = 177.0(2)°) and primarily σ-bonded to the cyclopentadienyl ring which shows a weak “slip distortion” toward a η³-mode of coordination. The complexes C₅R′₅AuPR₃ (R′ = H, Me) and C₅Me₅CuPPr₃ⁱ react with 1-alkynes such as C₂H₂, HC₂Ph and HC₂CO₂Me to form alkinylgold and copper compounds R″C₂MPR₃. They have been characterized by IR, UV and NMR (¹H, ¹³C, ³¹P) spectroscopy.     

Vibrational characteristics and structures of allyl groups C3H+5, C3H·5 and C3−5 involved in σ, π and ionic bondings with metals

Several spectroscopic characteristics of the structure and of the nature of internal bonds in allyl groups C₃H⁺₅, C₃H^·₅ and C₃H^?₅ are compared and clearly deduced from infrared and Raman spectra of some organometallic compounds.     

Etude vibrationnelle des composes (C4H4P)Mn(CO)3 et [C4H2(CH3)2P]Mn(CO)3 et calcul du champ de force du cycle C4H4P complexe

The Raman and infrared spectra (4000200 cm^?1) of (C₄H₄P)Mn(CO)₃ and (C₄D₄P)Mn(CO)₃, and of [C₄H₂(CH₃)₂P]Mn(CO)₃ and [C₄D₂(CH₃)₂P]Mn(CO)₃ in the liquid and solid states (10–400 K) have been investigated. A complete vibrational assignment is proposed and valence force fields of the (C₅H₅) and (C₄H₄P) cycles are compared. From these results, it is clearly shown that the (C₄H₄P) rings are more electrophilic and weaker π-electron donors than (C₅H₅) rings, this is in agreement with their chemical behavior.     

Ein fünffach koordinierter ionischer zirkonium(IV)-komplex mit der (π-C5H5)2ZrIV-Baueinheit: [(π-C5H5)2Zr(H2O)3]2+(CF3SO3−)2·THF

The ionic complex [(π-C₅H₅)₂Zr(H₂O)₃]²⁺(CF₃SO₃^?)₂·THF, which corresponds to the 18-electron rule, is formed in the reaction of (π-C₅H₅)₂Zr(CF₃SO₃)₂(THF) with H₂O in tetrahydrofuran. It crystallizes in the hexagonal space group P6₃ with Z = 6 and unit cell dimensions at ? 100°C of a 21.945(5) and c 8.711(3) Å. The geometry of the (π-C₅H₅)₂Zr moiety (length of the vectors between Zr and the C₅ ring centroids: 2.210 and 2.193 Å; angle between these vectors: 129.0°; angle between the C₅ ring normals: 128.3°) agrees with that of neutral, four-coordinate (π-C₅H₅)₂ZrX₂ compounds. The three H₂O ligands lie in the plane that bisects the angle between the C₅ ring planes. The ZrO distances are 2.239(7), 2.195(7), and 2.261(7) Å. The CF₃SO₃^? anions and the THF molecule of crystallization are packed around the complex cation in such a way that their oxygen atoms point towards the H₂O ligands. The CF₃ sides of the anion, on the other hand, are clustered together so as to produce hydrophobic domains in the crystal structure.

Synthesis and properties of pentamethylmetallocene derivatives Cp*MCp (M = Ru, Fe). Crystal structure of the salt [CpRuC5Me4CH2+OC6H2(NO2)3-]

Photolysis of a solution of Cp*RuCp (1) in CF₃CO₂H generates salt [CpRu(C₅Me₄CH₂)]-(O₂CCF₃)(2 • O₂CCF₃). The reaction of compound 1 with oleum at 20 °C through the intermediate dication [η⁵-(CH₂C₅Me₄)Ru(μ:η⁵,ν⁵-C₅H₄C₅H₅)Ru(C₅Me₄CH₂)-η⁶]²⁺ leads to the triply charged cation η⁷CH₂)₂C₅Me₃Ru(μη⁵,η⁵-C₅H₄C₅H₄)Ru(C₅Me₄CH₂)-η⁶]³⁺. Synthesis of pentamethylmetallocene derivatives CpMC₅Me₄X (M = Ru, Fe; X = CHO, CH₂OH, CH₂An) has been accomplished. The reactions of 1-hydroxymethyl-2,3,4,5-tetramethylruthenocene with acids CF₃CO₂H, HBF₄, CF₃CO₂H/NaB[C₆H₃(CF₃)₂]₄, and picric acid C₆H₂(NO₂)₃OH afforded salts 2•X (X = CF₃CO₂, BF₄, B[C₆H₃(CF₃)₂]₄), and (2,3,4,5-tetram ethylruthenocenyl)methyl picrate [CpRu(C₅Me₄CH₂)-η⁶][(C₆H₂(NO₂)₃O] (2•C₆H₂(NO₂)₃O). Structure of the latter was characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction.     

Isocyanide addition to MN2(CO)5(Ph2PCH2PPh2)2 and the formation of a four-electron doubly-bridging isocyanide

The reactions of Fe(CO)₅, Fe(CO)₄P(C₆H₅)₃, M(CO)₆ (M  W, Mo, Cr), and (CH₃C₅H₄Mn(CO)₃ with KH and several boron and aluminium hydrides were investigated. Iron pentacarbonyl was converted quantitatively to K⁺Fe(CO)₄-(CHO) by hydride transfer from KBH(OCH₃)₃ allowing isolation of [P(C₆H₅)₃]₂-Nⁿ⁺Fe(CO)₄(CHO)^? in 50% yield. Lower yields were obtained with LiBH(C₂H₅)₃, and other hydride sources gave little or no formyl product. The stability of Fe(CO)₄(CHO)^? in THP was found to depend on the cation, decreasing in the order [P(C₆H₅)₃]₂N⁺ > K⁺ > Na⁺ > Li⁺. No formyl complexes were isolated and no spectroscopic evidence for formyl formation was observed in the reactions of the other transition metal carbonyls with several hydride sources. Fe(CO)₄-P(C₆H₅)₃ gave K₂Fe(CO)₄ when treated with KHB(OCH₃)₃. When treated with LiBH(C₂H₅)₃, W(CO)₆ gave a mixture of HW₂(CO)₁₀^?and (OC)₅W(COC₂H₅)^?; the latter was methylated to give the carbene complex (OC)₅WC(OCH₃)C₂H₅.     

Synthesis, crystal structures, phase transition characterization and thermal decomposition of a new dabcodiium hexaaquairon(II) bis(sulfate): (C6H14N2)[Fe(H2O)6](SO4)2

The crystal structures of 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (dabco)-templated iron sulfate, (C₆H₁₄N₂)[Fe(H₂O)₆](SO₄)₂, were determined at room temperature and at −173 °C from single-crystal X-ray diffraction. At 20 °C, it crystallises in the monoclinic symmetry, centrosymmetric space group P2₁/n, Z=2, a=7.964(5), b=9.100(5), c=12.065(5) Å, β=95.426(5)° and V=870.5(8) ų. The structure consists of [Fe(H₂O)₆]²⁺ and disordered (C₆H₁₄N₂)²⁺ cations and (SO₄)²⁻ anions connected together by an extensive three-dimensional H-bond network. The title compound undergoes a reversible phase transition of the first-order at −2.3 °C, characterized by DSC, dielectric measurement and optical observations, that suggests a relaxor–ferroelectric behavior. Below the transition temperature, the compound crystallizes in the monoclinic system, non-centrosymmetric space group Cc, with eight times the volume of the ambient phase: a=15.883(3), b=36.409(7), c=13.747(3) Å, β=120.2304(8)°, Z=16 and V=6868.7(2) ų. The organic moiety is then fully ordered within a supramolecular structure. Thermodiffractometry and thermogravimetric analyses indicate that its decomposition proceeds through three stages giving rise to the iron oxide.     

Oxydation anodique de iodoperfluoroalcanes dans les acides perfluoroalcanesulfoniques. Preparation de nouveaux esters sulfoniques totalement fluores RFSO3R'F a longues chaines

Perfluorinated sulphonic esters R_FSO₃R'_F and fluorosulphates FSO₃R'_F, are easily obtained by anodic oxidation of iodoperfluoroalkanes R'_FI in perfluoroalkane sulphonic acids R_FSO₃H (R_F  CF₃, C₂F₅, C₄F₉) and fluorosulphuric acid. With di-iodo compound I(CF₂)₄I, the mono and the diester can be selectively obtained. The alkaline hydrolysis of these esters produces perfluorinated carboxylic compounds. Polyfluorinated iodide R'_FCH₂CH₂I are also oxidized in similar conditions. The mechanism of the electrolytic reaction is discussed.     

Synthesis of triphenylphosphonopropionbetainetriorganotin(IV) salts [(C6H5)3P(CH2)2CO2SnR3]+X−, by nucleophilic displacement of anions from triorganotins

Trimethyl- and triphenyl-tin(IV) hydroxide act on triphenyl(2-carboxyethyl)-phosphonium hydrochloride, which is made from 3-chloropropionic acid and triphenylphosphine, to release water in the presence of dimethylformamide (DMF) as a catalyst. The water is azeotropically distilled to drive the reaction forward and produce triphenylphosphonopropionbetainetrimethyl- and triphenyl-tin(IV) chlorides in high yield. The latter product also results from the displacement of chloride from triphenyltin(IV) chloride by the phosphobetaine, (C₆H₅)₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂, which is made by treating the phosphonium hydrochloride with bicarbonate, and the compounds [(C₆H₅)₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂Sn(C₆H₅)₃]⁺X^? where X = Cl, Br, I, N₃, NCS, NO₃, B(C₆H₅)₄ and Co(CO)₄ are made in the same way. The acetate salt results from metathesis from the chloride and lead(II) acetate. A double salt, [(C₆H₅)₃P(CH₂)₂CO₂SnR₃]⁺ [R₃SnX₂]^?, is formed for X = Cl, Br and N₃ by adding additional (C₆H₅)₃SnX to the already-formed simple salts. Double salts are also obtained from the $\text{1}\text{1}$ reactions between the phosphobetaine and triphenyltin(IV) isocyanate and methyldiphenyltin(IV) chloride. The phosphonium chloride double salt could be converted to the thiophosphonium derivative by heating with elemental sulfur in ethanol. The products of these novel nucleophilic displacement reactions are high melting solids. Tin-119m Mössbauer data are consistent with five-coordinated, triorganotin(IV) formulations with the exception of the diphenyl(8-hydroxyquinolinato)tin(IV) chloride salt in which the tin atom is six-coordinated, and the diphenyltin system cis-oriented. The parameters otherwise do not change with the nature of the X group, which is the tetracarbonylcobaltate derivative is tetrahedral by infrared, establishing the ionicity of the products. The chloride exhibits a molar conductivity indicative of a $\text{1}\text{1}$ electrolyte in DMF. A bridging acetate structure in the solid is consistent with the lowered ν(CO₂) frequencies. The Mössbauer spectra of the double salts give simple doublets of lowered isomer shift (IS) and raised quadrupole splitting (QS) which may arise from a cross-linking ion pairing of the polymer chains in the solid, and the NMR spectra of the two methyltin derivatives shows only a single resonance line and tin satellites which is rationalized by a dynamic exchange process. The products are formulated as associated in carboxylate polymers with dangling triphenylphosphonium cations.

Systematische untersuchungen über das verhalten von organozinnverbindungen gegenüber flüssigem schwefeldioxid III. SO2-disproportionierung bei einschiebungsreaktionen an tetraalkylstannanen

When liquid SO₂ is allowed to react with the tetraalkyltin compounds (CH₃)₄Sn and (C₂H₅)₄Sn at 60°, disproportionation of sulfur takes place resulting in the formation of the corresponding bis(trialyltin) sulfates, [R₃Sn]₂SO₄, and alkanethiosulfonic acid S-alkyl esters, RSO₂SR (R = CH₃, C₂H₅). The course of the reaction is discussed.     

Optisch aktive übergangsmetall-komplexe : XVIII. Über die reaktion von C5H5Co(CO)(C3F7)j mit isonitrilen

In the reaction of C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I with isonitriles in the molár ratio $\text{1}\text{1}$ the brown complexes C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I are formed. The fluorine atoms of the α-CF₂ groups are diastereotopic because of the asymmetric center at the Co atom. With (—)-α-phenylethylisonitrile a pair of diastereoisomers is obtained which could not be separated.C₅H₅Co(CO)(C₃F₇)I and C₅H₅Co(CNR)(C₃F₇)I react with excess isonitrile with the formation of benzene soluble, yellow salts [C₅H₅Co(CNR)₂(C₃F₇)]⁺I^?, which can be transformed into the corresponding PF^?₆ salts. The new compounds were characterised by C, H, N, Co analyses, molecular weight determinations, IR, ¹H NMR, ¹⁹F NMR, ¹³C NMR, ESCA and mass spectra.     

Synthesis and reactions of a nucleophilic bis(μ-dimethylphosphido)dicobalt complex. The crystal and molecular structure of [C5H5Co(μ-PMe2)]2 and [(C5H5Co)2(μ-H)(μ-PMe2)2]BPh4

The bis(μ-dimethylphosphido)dicobalt complex [C₅H₅Co(μ-PMe₂)]₂ (II) has been prepared from Co(C₅H₅ and PMe₂H on almost quantitative yield. It has also been made by reduction of [C₅H₅Co(PMe₂H)₃]I₂ (IV) with NaH and from the reaction of [C₅H₅(PMe₃)Co(μ-CO)₂Mn(CO)C₅H₄Me] with PMe₂H. Protonation of II with CF₃CO₃H in the presence of NH₄PF₆ produces the PF₆^? salt of the (μ-hydrido)dicobalt cation [(C₅H₅Co)₂(μ-H)(μ-PMe₂)₂]⁺ (V) which reacts with aqueous NaOH to give II. Similar treatment of [C₅H₅Co(μ-SMe]₂ with CF₃CO₂H/NH₄PF₆ leads to the formation of [(C₅H₅Co)₂(μ-SMe)₃]PF₆ (VI). The nucleophilic character of complex II has also been demonstrated in the reaction with SO₂, which gives [(C₅H₅Co)₂ (μ-PMe₂)₂(μ-SO₂)] (VII). The crystal and molecular structures of II, the corresponding bis(μ-diphenylphosphido) compound [C₅H₅Co(μ-PPh₂)]₂ (III) and the BPh₄^? salt of V have been determined. In both neutral complexes the Co₂P₂ cores are similarly puckered, as reflected in the dihedral angle between the CoP₂ and P₂Co′ planes of 108.1 and 105.0° for R = Me and Ph, respectively. The CoCo bond length and the PP interatomic separations are essentially identical for both dimers. The CoCo bond length in V, 2.517(1) Å, is lower than that in II, 2.542(2) Å. The only obvious structural variation between the unprotonated and the protonated species is the large difference in the degree of canting of the C₅H₅ rings with respect to each other. The angles between the C₅(ring)-centroid and the CoCo line are ca. 150 and 167° in II and V, respectively, which reflects the influence of the bridging hydride ligand in the cationic complex.     

Conformational analysis in diastereoisomer equilibria of square-pyramidal [C5H5(CO)2Mo pyridine-2-imine]PF6 complexes

Synthesis and characterization of sonic new square-pyramidal pyridine-2-imine complexes [C₅,H₅,(CO)₂,MoNC₅,H₄,CX=NCH(R₁)(R₂)]PF₆ with X = CH₃, C₆H₅ and chiral amine, 1-phenyl-isobutylamine and amino acid methyl ester H₂NCH(COOCH₃)(R) with (R) = (CH₂C₆H₅) and (C₂H₅) have been reported. In combination with Mo chirality (R) and (S), mixtures of two diastereoisomeric pairs of enantiomers with racemic amine and amino acids were obtained which were separated by fractional cystallization. The diastereoisomers differ in the chemical shift of most of their ¹H NMR signals and interconvert on heating in acetone-d₆ at 80°C for 80 hr and 40°C for 200 hr. On the basis of three conformational determining effects (i) C-H or C-alkyl of the asymmetric centre eclipses the ligand plane, (ii) MC₅H₅/C₆H₅ attraction and (iii) MC₅H₅/alkyl repulsion in order of decreasing significance, the chemical shifts of the C₅H₅ signals, their differences as well as the diastereoisomer ratio at equilibrium for all the complexes has been rationalised.     

Polysulfonylamine. LXXII [1]. Triphenylcarbenium- und Triphenylphosphonium-di(fluorsulfonyl)amid: Zwei Kristallstrukturen mit geordneten (FSO2)2N⊖-Lagen

Polysulfonyl Amines. LXXII. Triphenylcarbenium and Triphenylphosphonium Di(fluorosulfonyl)amides: Two Crystal Structures with Ordered (FSO₂)₂N^? Sites Treatment of HN(SO₂F)₂ in CH₂Cl₂ with Ph₃P, Ph₃PO or collidine (=B) affords the compounds Ph₃PH^⊕[(FSO₂)₂N]^? ( 3 ), Ph₃PO · HN(SO₂F)₂, and BH^⊕[(FSO₂)₂N]^? ( 7 ). The carbenium salt Ph₃C^⊕[(FSO₂)₂N]^? ( 5 ), obtained by metathesis of Ph₃CBr with [(C₆H₆)AgN(SO₂F)₂] in CH₂Cl₂, crystallizes from chloroform/petroleum ether as a monosolvate Ph₃C^⊕[(FSO₂)₂N]^? · CHCl₃ ( 6 ). In presence of a sterically hindered base, viz. collidine, 5 is a suitable reagent for the tritylation of molecules containing weakly activated H atoms (e. g.: MeCN → Ph₃CCH₂CN, acetone → tritylacetone; co-product: 7 ). The crystal structures of the ionic solids 3 (monoclinic, space group P2₁/n) and 6 (monoclinic, P2₁/c) were determined by X-ray diffraction at ?130°C; the structure refinements were not impaired by the notorious tendency of the (FSO₂)₂N moiety towards crystallographic disorder. As in the known structure of the tetraphenylarsonium salt, the anion of 3 and 6 adopts a staggered conformation of approximately C₂ symmetry (averages of all values: S? N? S 121.4°, N? S 156.2, S? O 141.6, S? F 156.6 pm). The crystal packing of 6 displays a three-centre C? H(…?O)₂ hydrogen bond between the CHCl₃ molecule and two oxygen atoms of a single anion, resulting in a six-membered ring [R₁²(6) pattern; H …? O 234 and 262 pm]. The crystal of 3 contains one-dimensional arrays of alternating cations and anions connected by a three-centre P? H(…?O)₂ bond [C(6) pattern; H …? O 237 and 254 pm]. The Ph₃C^⊕ cation of 6 is propeller-shaped, with three coplanar central bonds (mean C? C 144.5 pm) and interplanar angles of 52.7, 56.4 and 60.1° between the phenyl groups.     

Synthese und reaktivität des diphenylacetyleniridium-komplexes C5H5Ir(C2Ph2)PPr3i und bildung einer isomeren iridainden-verbindung

trans-[IrCl(C₂R₂)(PPr₃ⁱ)₂] complexes are prepared from [(C₈H₁₄)₂IrCl]₂, PPr₃ⁱ and C₂R₂ (R = H, Me, Ph) via the intermediate [IrCl(PPr₃ⁱ)₂]. With phenylacetylene, a mixture of two isomers, trans-[IrCl(PhC₂H)(PPr₃ⁱ)₂] and IrHCl(C₂Ph)(PPr₃ⁱ)₂ is formed which reacts with pyridine to give IrHCl(C₂Ph)(py)(PP₃ⁱ)₂. Reaction of trans-[IrCl(C₂Ph₂)(PPr₃ⁱ)₂] with NaC₅H₅ yields the compound C₅H₅Ir(C₂Ph₂)PPr₃ⁱ (VI) which is transformed via the vinyl complex C₅H₅Ir(CPhCHPh)(OCOCF₃)PPr₃ⁱ (VII) into the iridaindene derivative IX. Using VII as the starting material, C₅H₅Ir(OCOCF₃)₂PPr₃ⁱ, C₅H₅Ir(CPhCHPh)(I)PPr₃ⁱ and C₅H₅Ir(CPhCHPh)(CH₃)PPr₃ⁱ are also obtained. Treatment of VI with Br₂ and I₂ respectively yields the complexes C₅H₅IrX₂PPr₃ⁱ) (XII, X = Br; XIII, X = I), of which XIII reacts with CH₃MgI to give C₅H₅Ir(CH₃)₂PPr₃ⁱ.
