Iridium complexes isocyanide

The most interesting work on the isocyanide complexes of the elements in this subgroup has been done with rhodium and iridium. For the most part, the work is involved with the oxidative addition reactions of d square-planar metal complexes.

Those iridium(III) isocyanide complexes obtained from oxidative addition to an iridium(I) isocyanide complex have been treated in Section 49.4.1.1. 

Somewhat related to the above isocyanide complexes, paramagnetic isocya-nide-AsPh3 complexes of iridium have also been reported (Fig. 8). The EPR parameters of the complexes [Ir(L) (AsPh3)(CNPhMe)] largely depends on the nature of the anionic (9,(9-ligand/A,(9-ligand L (17, 18).

These iridium(I) isocyanide complexes show deep blue colors in solution due to the presence of oligomers [Ir(CNMe)4]S that are associated through intermetallic bonding. Photolysis of these oligomers results in their dissociation into monomers. Photolysis of a mixture of [Ir(CNMe)4]ir and MeNC leads to the...
