Synthesis of di- and trinuclear iridium polyhydride complexes surrounded by light-absorbing ligands

Abstract

New di- and trinuclear iridium (Ir) penta- and hexahydride complexes containing light-absorbing diphosphine ligands have been developed. The trinuclear Ir complex possessed a higher absorption coefficient (standardized per Ir) than that of the parent mononuclear Ir complex, indicating the assembly effect. The trinuclear complex showed high reactivity toward catalytic hydrogenation of diphenylacetylene under mild conditions, and the reaction was considerably accelerated under photoirradiation.
