Notes:
The reaction of [IrH2Cl(PiPr3)2] (2) with the pentadiyne derivative HC≡C—C≡C—CPh2OH (1) yields the five-coordinate compound [IrH(C≡C—C≡CPh2OH)Cl(PiPr3)2] (3), which photochemically rearranges to give the vinylidene-substituted isomer trans-[IrCl(=C=CH-C≡CPh2OH)(PiPr3)2] (4). On treatment of 3 with pyridine, the octahedral complex [IrH (C≡C—C≡CPh2OH)Cl(py)(PiPr3)2] (5) is formed. While attempts to eliminate water from 4 (or 5) failed, the reaction of 3 with one equivalent of trifluorosulfonic acid anhydride and two equivalents of triethylamine led to the formation of trans-[IrCl(=C=C=C=C=CPh2)(PiPr3)2] (6), which is the first neutral transition-metal complex containing a C5R2 ligand. The X-ray structural analysis of 6 reveals a perfect square-planar coordination geometry around the metal centre and an almost linear IrC5 chain with Ir-C—C and C—C—C bond angles of 174-179°.
