Iridium magnetic susceptibility

The reaction of mam-porphyrin IX diethyl ester with [Ir(Cl)(CO)3]2 or [Ir(Cl)(CO)(cot)2] yields the iridium(III) porphyrin derivative [Ir(CO)(HePDEE)] (HePDEE = hematoporphyrin diethyl ester).457 This complex, along with the dimethyl ester derivative, has been characterized by electronic, IR, electron spin resonance and mass spectroscopic techniques as well as magnetic susceptibility measurements. The iridium complexes differ from their rhodium analogues in that they retain a CO ligand in the coordination shell. 

All platinum metals are paramagnetic (x > 0). The magnetic susceptibilities of palladium and platinum decrease with increasing temperature, the magnetic susceptibilities of rhodium, iridium, ruthenium, and osmium increase with increasing temperature (Fig. 3.1-272 [1.218]).
