Abstract
Three new Ir(I) complexes have been prepared, characterized and studied by X-ray crystallography. No evidence is found for pi-donation from an alkoxy (Ir(CO)(OCH2C6H5)(P(p-tolyl)3)2) or an aryloxy (Ir(CO)(O-p-C6H4CH3(P(p-toly)3)2) to iridium. The phenylmethoxy complex IR(CO)(OCH2C6H5)(P(p-tolyl)3)2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 10.5187(16), b = 12.8320(15), c = 17.4940(19)Å, α = 71.447(8), β = 84.907(11), ³ = 72.407- (11) °, V = 2133.8(5)Å3 and Z = 2. The structure was solved and refined to R = 2.48% for 4567 reflections with F0 > 6σ(F0). Interatomic distances of note are Ir-P = 2.306(2) and 2.334(2), Ir-CO = 1.806(6) and Ir-O = 2.022(4)Å. The p-cresolate derivative crystallizes as the p-cresol adduct Ir(CO)(OC6H4CH3)(P(p-tolyl)3)2·CH3C6H4OH in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 21.1172(28), b = 12.0167(15), c = 22.5658(31)Å, β = 117.180(10)°, V = 5094.0- (12) Å3 and Z = 4. The structure was refined to R = 4.26% for 3296 reflections with F0 > 6σ(F0). Interatomic distances include Ir-P = 2.322(4) and 2.330(4), Ir-CO = 1.781(13) and Ir-O = 2.067(7)Å. The hydroxy derivative Ir(CO)(OH)(PCy3)2 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with a = 9.916(3), b = 10.305(4), c = 10.825(4)Å, α = 114.16(3), β = 109.55(3), γ = 90.14(3)°, V = 938.6(5)Å3 and Z = 1. This structure is disordered with a scrambled image of the carbonyl and hydroxide ligands. Distances of note are Ir-P = 2.331(1), Ir-CO = 1.887- (13) and Ir-OH = 1.978(12)Å; the Ir-CO and Ir-OH distances may suffer from systematic errors due to disorder.
