In the title compound, [Ir(C15H22BN6)(C8H7O)Cl]·CHCl3, the Ir atom is formally trivalent and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry by three facial N atoms, one C atom, one O atom and one Cl atom. The Ir=Ccarbene bond is strong and short and exerts a notable effect on the trans-Ir—N bond, which is about 0.10 Å longer than the two other Ir—N bonds. The chloro­form solvent mol­ecule is anchored via a weak C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bond to the Cl atom of the Ir complex mol­ecule. In the crystal, the constituents adopt a layer-like arrangement parallel to (010) and are held together by weak inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as weak Cl⋯Cl [3.498 (2) Å] and Cl⋯π [3.360 (4) Å] inter­actions. A weak intra­molecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed.

The title compound represents a well crystallizing air-stable chloro­form solvate of a mononuclear iridium complex based on the (hydrogen tris­(3,5-dimethyl­pyrazol­yl)borate-N,N′,N′′)-iridium moiety Ir[TpMe2]. Its formation from [(TpMe2)Ir(C6H5)2(k1-N2)] (C6H5 = phenyl, N2 = dinitro­gen) and eth­oxy­benzene involved multiple C—C,H,O,Cl bond transformations by the outstanding activity of the Ir[TpMe2] moiety.

Comment top

Transition metal compounds capable of inducing C—H bond activation and subsequent C—C bond formation have important applications in the synthesis of complex organic molecules from simple, commonly available substrates (Lin & Yamamoto, 1999; Dyker, 1999; Labinger & Bercaw, 2002). Iridium complexes with hydrogen-tris(pyrazolyl)borate as a stabilizing ligand and labile coordination sites have been found to show an outstanding potential at this respect (Conejero et al., 2010). Part of our work in this field has derived from the study of reactions of ethers with reactive Ir complexes coordinated by the hydrogen-tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate ligand (TpMe2) (Lara et al., 2009; Conejero et al., 2010; Santos et al., 2013). When the complex [(TpMe2)Ir(C6H5)2(k1-N2)] (C6H5 = phenyl, N2 = dinitrogen; Gutiérrez-Puebla et al., 1998) and C6H5OCH2CH3 (ethoxybenzene) are heated to 333K in cyclohexane a mixture of three compounds is formed (see reaction scheme Fig. 3). The major reaction product is 2, the precursor of the title complex 1. Compound 2 is a hydride-alkylidene whose formation requires multiple C—H bond activations, C—O bond cleavage and C—C bond formation. The other reaction products are a heteroatom-stabilized hydride-carbene 3 derived from three C—H activations of the organic product, and the minor reaction product 4 (ca 5%), which is the hydride-alkene tautomer of 2. Compound 2 could be prepared independently in nearly quantitative yield (~95%) by the reaction of [(TpMe2)Ir(C6H5)2(k1-N2)] with 2-ethylphenol (Lara et al., 2009). Compound 2 is stable at room temperature but at higher temperatures is in equilibrium with compound 4. On the other hand, if 2 is heated in chloroform at 353K for 4 days, a C—Cl bond activation takes place whereby the hydride is exchanged against a Cl atom under concomitant formation of dichloromethane. The resulting complex 1 (Fig. 3) crystallizes from the excess of CHCl3 under formation of the title compound, an air-stable solvate 1.CHCl3, (I). In 1 the iridium atom exhibits a relatively regular octahedral coordination by three pyrazole nitrogen atoms, the carbene atom C22, the phenolate oxygen O1, and the chloride ligand Cl1 (Fig. 1). The cis bond angles about Ir vary from 82.18 (12)° (C22—Ir1—O1) to 98.38 (13)° (C22—Ir1—N3) and the trans bond angles from 173.11 (8)° to 177.55 (9)° (N3—Ir1—O1). The metal-carbene bond Ir1—C22 = 1.937 (3) Å is characteristically short and in good accord with Ir-carbene bonds of well refined crystal structures in the Cambridge Structural Database (version 5.33; Allen, 2002), which gave a mean value of 1.942 (64) Å for 57 crystal structures with 69 bonds. The Ir—N bonds (Table 1) show a typical elongation of ca 0.1 Å for the bond Ir1—N5 trans to the carbene ligand. The Ir—O and Ir—Cl bonds adopt normal values (Allen et al., 1987). Bond lengths and angles in the TpMe2 ligand compare well with related complexes (e.g.: Lara et al., 2009; Santos et al., 2013). The chelate ring formed by the carbene ligand has a flat envelope conformation with O1—C16—C21—C22 perfectly planar (r.m.s. deviation from planarity 0.0002 Å) and Ir1 displaced from this plane by -0.352 (5) Å whereas the terminal methyl carbon C23 is 0.419 (7) Å off from this plane. The carbene atom C22 has a very flat pyramidal coordination and deviates by -0.064 (4) Å from the plane defined by Ir1, C21, and C23. In the crystal structure the Ir complexes 1 and the CHCl3 molecules are organized in a layer-like fashion parallel to (010) as shown in Fig. 2. Such layers are centered at y 1/4; and y 3/4;. The CHCl3 molecule is anchored in the structure via a pronounced C—H···Cl hydrogen bond (C···Cl = 3.360 (4) Å) to the Cl1 atom of the Ir complex (Fig. 1 and Table 2). It is moreover fixed by the interaction C11—H11c···Cl3 [C11(x,1/2 - y,1/2 + z)···Cl3 = 3.608 (4) Å], by the halogen-halogen contact Cl3···Cl1(x,1/2 - y,1/2 + z) = 3.498 (2) Å, and two side-on contacts between the π-orbitals of arene rings and Cl [Cl2 with pyrazole ring 1 and the shortest contact distance Cl2···C4(x - 1,y,z) = 3.360 (4) Å; Cl3 with the phenyl ring and the shortest contact distance Cl3···C20 = 3.396 (4) Å]. These interactions are included in Fig. 2. Interactions between the Ir complexes are unremarkable and consist essentially of van der Waals contacts. The interaction C11—H11a···O3 is intramolecular.

Experimental top

A solution of 2 (0.030 g, 0.049 mmol; see Fig. 3; for synthesis see Lara et al., 2009) in CHCl3 (3 ml) was stirred at 353K for 4 days. After this time the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. NMR spectra of the crude product revealed the presence of complex 1 in 70% spectroscopic yield. Crystallization from pentane/CH2Cl2/CHCl3 at 253K gave compound 1 as a dark green microcrystalline solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 298 K) δ 7.47, 7.28, 7.19, 6.60 (dd, ddd, d, ddd, 1 H each, 3JHH 8.5, 4JHH 1 Hz, 4 CHar), 5.89, 5.88, 5.50 (s, 1 H each, 3 CHpz), 3.07 (s, 3 H, IrCCH3), 2.77, 2.49, 2.40, 2.36, 2.32, 1.32 (s, 3 H each, 6 Mepz). 13C{1H} NMR (CDCl3, 25 °C) δ 273.2(IrC), 192.5 (Ir—O—C), 154.7, 153.8, 153.3, 152.3, 144.6, 144.2, 144.1 (Ir C-C + Cqpz), 141.0, 124.2, 119.7, 115.7 (CHar), 108.4, 108.3, 108.2 (CHpz), 34.0 (Ir=CCH3), 16.4, 14.1, 13.1, 13.0, 12.4, 12.2 (Mepz).

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.
