Abstract: | A series of binuclear complexes [{Cp*Ir(OOCCH2COO)}2(pyrazine)] ( 1 b ), [{Cp*Ir(OOCCH2COO)}2(bpy)] ( 2 b ; bpy=4,4′‐bipyridine), [{Cp*Ir(OOCCH2COO)}2(bpe)] ( 3 b ; bpe=trans‐1,2‐bis(4‐pyridyl)ethylene) and tetranuclear metallamacrocycles [{(Cp*Ir)2(OOC‐C?C‐COO)(pyrazine)}2] ( 1 c ), [{(Cp*Ir)2(OOC‐C?C‐COO)(bpy)}2] ( 2 c ), [{(Cp*Ir)2(OOC‐C?C‐COO)(bpe)}2] ( 3 c ), and [{(Cp*Ir)2[OOC(H3C6)‐N?N‐(C6H3)COO](pyrazine)}2] ( 1 d ), [{(Cp*Ir)2[OOC(H3C6)‐N?N‐(C6H3)COO](bpy)}2] ( 2 d ), [{(Cp*Ir)2[OOC(H3C6)‐N?N‐(C6H3)COO](bpe)}2] ( 3 d ) were formed by reactions of 1 a – 3 a {[(Cp*Ir)2(pyrazine)Cl2] ( 1 a ), [(Cp*Ir)2(bpy)Cl2] ( 2 a ), and [(Cp*Ir)2(bpe)Cl2] ( 3 a )} with malonic acid, fumaric acid, or H2ADB (azobenzene‐4,4′‐chcarboxylic acid), respectively, under mild conditions. The metallamacrocycles were directly self‐assembled by activation of C? H bonds from dicarboxylic acids. Interestingly, after exposure to UV/Vis light, 3 c was converted to [2+2] cycloaddition complex 4 . The molecular structures of 2 b , 1 c , 1 d , and 4 were characterized by single‐crystal x‐ray crystallography. Nanosized tubular channels, which may play important roles for their stability, were also observed in 1 c , 1 d , and 4 . All complexes were well characterized by 1H NMR and IR spectroscopy, as well as elemental analysis. |
