Abstract
The interaction of trimesityliridium(III) with trimethylamine oxide gives quantitative yields of the green iridium(V) complex Ir(O)(mes) 3, whose X-ray crystal structure has been determined. The oxo compound is also obtained by interaction of dioxygen with Ir(mes) 3 and Ir(mes) 4. A similar oxo species has also been obtained from Ir(2,6-Me 2C 6H 3) 4. The molecular structure of Ir(O)(mes) 3 is distorted tetrahedral with IrO and IrC bond lengths of 1.725(9) and 1.989–2.034(13) Å, respectively.
