An. Belyaev et al., REDOX PROPERTIES OF TRINUCLEAR IRIDIUM MU(3)-OXOCARBOXYLATES IN ACETONITRILE SOLUTIONS, Russian journal of applied chemistry, 67(12), 1994, pp. 1797-1799
The influence of an R substituent (CH3, CH2Cl, CCl3) in bridging ligan
ds (mu-O(2)CR) on the stability of the highly oxidized state Ir-3(III,
III,IV) in trinuclear iridium mu(3)-oxocarboxylates has been studied b
y cyclovoltammetry and potentiostatic coulometry in acetonitrile solut
ion in the 0-1.5 V potential range. The stability decreases with incre
ase in electron acceptor power of R in the order CH3 > CH2Cl > CCl3.
