In the title compound, [Ir(C₈H₁₂)(C₇H₁₂N₂)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]BF₄·CH₂Cl₂, the Ir(I) atom has a square-planar conformation with normal bond lengths. One of the phenyl rings, and the solvent dichloromethane molecule, were refined using separate two part disorder models, each in an approximately 1:1 ratio.

Comment top

The title compound, (I), was prepared as part of our ongoing research on Rh and Ir-containing N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (Nichol et al., 2009). The Ir center has an expected square planar conformation and bond distances are unexceptional. One of the phenyl rings, and the solvent dichloromethane molecule, were refined using separate two part disorder models, each in an approximately 1:1 ratio. The structure of the isomorphous Rh analogue has also been reported (Nichol et al., 2010).

Experimental top

The title compound, (I), was synthesized by the reaction of [Ir(cod)(C₇H₁₂N₂)Cl](0.369 mg, 0.80 mmol) and triphenylphosphene (211 mg, 0.80 mmol) in CH₂Cl₂ (8 ml) with silver tetrafluoroborate (157 m, 0.80 mmol) for 1.5 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite to remove silver chloride and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Crystals of the resulting solid of the title compound were obtained by slow diffusion of pentane into dichloromethane solution of the compound.

Special details top

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.
