Abstract
Reaction of CIIr(PEt3)3 with potassium 2,4-dimethylpentadienide yields the iridacyclohexadiene complex, [ IrCH=C(Me)CH=C{Me)CH2] (PEt3)3(H) (1), by irid-ium-centered activation of a pentadienyl C-H bond. Treatmentof 1 withCH3Q3SCF3produces methane and {[IrCH=C(Me)CH==C(Me)CH2](PEt3)3} +03SCF3- (2), in which one of the ring double bonds coordinates to Jr. Both 1 and 2 have been structurally characterized. Above 0 °C, 2 decomposes in solution to[(tj5-1,3-di-methylcyclopentadienyl)ir(pet3)2(h)]+03SCF3' (3). Treatment of 1 with CH3I or 2 with NMe4I yields [IrCH=C(Me)CH=C(Me)CH2](PEt3)3(I) (4).
