Ir‐Komplexe mit P4‐Bicyclotetraphosphan und P8‐Cunean als Liganden – CO‐Insertion in eine Ir–P‐Bindung

Abstract

Ir Complexes with P4 Bicyclotetraphosphane and P8 Cunean as Ligands – CO Insertion into an Ir–P BondThe reaction of [Cp*Ir(CO)2] with white phosphorus under photochemical or thermal conditions produces the bicyclotetraphosphane complexes 1 and 2 and the cunean‐type complex 3. The products were characterized by NMR, IR, and mass spectroscopy as well as by X‐ray structure analyses. Complex 1 reacts with CO with insertion into a Ir–P bond to form 2 and finally [Cp*Ir(CO)2].
