C)iridium(III)In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Ir(C5H7O2)3(H2O)], the IrIII atom is six-coordinated and situated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. The complex contains both Ir-O and Ir-C bonds and was isolated from a reaction mixture of IrCl3(H2O)x, pentane-2,5-dione and NaHCO3. O-H
O hydrogen bonding between the water molecules and the carbonyl O atoms of adjacent molecules leads to a layered motif extending parallel to (010).
The complex was synthesized according literature (see Periana et al., 2002). In a round-bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser vented to an oil bubble, 5 g of IrCl3 (H2O)x (54.34% of Ir, 14.13 mmol), 50 ml of 2, 5-pentadione (48.75 mmol) and 5 g of NaHCO3(59.5 mmol) were added. The mixture was heated to gentle reflux with stirring for 48 h. During this time, a yellow solid precipitated. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the solid was collected as crude product. The yellow solid was dissolved in 200 ml H2O at room temperature under vigorous stirring and was filtered. Solution was concentrated under vacuo to give 3.15 g (43.6%) complex as yellow microcrystalline. The compound was crystallized from water to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray structure analysis. 1HNMR (CD3OD,p.p.m.):5.54(s, 2H, CH), 5.49(s, 1H, CH), 1.96(s, 12H, CH3), 1.83(s, 6H, CH3). 13CNMR (dmso,p.p.m.): 208.4(s, C-acac, C=O), 186.1(s, O-acac, C=O), 102.6(s, O-acac, CH), 48.6(s, C-acac, CH), 31.6(s, C-acac, CH3, 26.6(s, O-acac, CH3). Anal. Calcd: Ir, 37.95; C, 35.54; H, 4.93. Found: Ir, 37.90; C, 35.48; H, 4.87.
All H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map but were positioned with idealized geometry and refined isotropic with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C) (1.5 for methyl H atoms) using a riding model with C—H = 0.93 and 0.97 Å).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

[Ir(acac-O, O)2(acac-C3)(H2O)], as a novel, themally stable, homogeneous bis-acac-O, O—Ir(III) complex catalyst for the anti-Markovnikov, hydroarylation of olefins, has attracted considerable attention (Periana et al., 2002, Wong-Foy et al. 2003, Bhalla et al., 2005). Bennett et al. obtained [Ir(µ-acac-O,O,C3)(acac-O, O)(acac-C3)] and an unknown yellow solid as byproducts in the course of an attempt to improve the synthesis of Ir(acac)3 (Bennett & Mitchell, 1976). However, they were unable to purify the yellow solid or characterize its structure. Recently Periana et al. successfully isolated this yellow product in pure form and proved it to be [Ir(acac-O, O)2(acac-C3)(H2O)] by spectroscopic data(Periana et al., 2002). Despite the thermal and oxidative stability of octahedral iridium (III)-carbon σ -bonded complexes, there are little well characterized γ-C-bonded β-diketone complexes of iridium (III) except [Ir(µ-acac-O,O,C3)(acac-O, O)(acac-C3)] (Gibson, 1969, Matsumoto et al., 2000).
Recently the single-crystal of the compound was obtained in our laboratory and we report its crystallographic structure. In the complex, the central Ir atom is coordinated by a octahedron of four oxygen atoms of two acetylacetone ligands, one carbon atom of one acetylacetone ligand and one oxygen atom of water molcule. The average Ir—O bond length of two acetylacetone ligands is 2.02 Å, which agree with the literature data of Ir(acac)3 (Isakova et al., 1999), however, Ir—O bond length of coordinated water is 2.15 Å, which is longer than the former, whereas Ir—C bond length is found to be 2.13 Å. Intermolecular C—H···O hydrogen bond (Desiraju, 1996) and C—H···C hydrogen bond are present in the structure; while the C···O distances are within the range of 3.039 (9)–3.486 (10) Å, C—H···O are found to be within the range of 110–168°. The compound forms a hydrogen-bonded chain in which the O5 water uses two H atom to serve as a donor to the O atoms of adjacent molecules, these weaker interactions giving rise to a three-dimensional framework structure.
