Description:
The title solvated salt, [Ir(H)2{P(C6H11)3}2{OC(CH3)2}2]BF4·(CH3)2CO, was obtained by the protonation of [Ir(H)5{P(C6H11)3}2] with HBF4 in acetone. The cation features OC-6-13 stereochemistry, with Ir—P = 2.3159 (6) and 2.3267 (6) Å, and Ir—O = 2.238 (1) and 2.276 (1) Å. The BF4 − anion shows threefold rotational disorder about a B—F bond, with site occupancies of 0.65, 0.25 and 0.10. While there are several intramolecular C—H...O and intermolecular C—H...F hydrogen-bonding interactions [C...O = 3.207 (3)–3.358 (3) Å, and C...F = 3.434 (3) and 3.441 (3) Å], the O atom of the acetone solvent molecule does not act as a C—H acceptor.
