Abstract
Reaction between [Ir(COD)(PMe3)3]Cl and H-2 leads to the formation of mer-(Me3P)3Ir(H)(H)Cl in excellent yield. mer-(Me3P)3Ir(H)(H)Cl is unr eactive toward alkenes and alkynes in most organic solvents but is wat er-soluble and very reactive in aqueous solution. Reactions between me r-(Me3P)3Ir(H)(H)Cl and alkynes are discussed, and the solid-state str ucture of a resulting vinyliridium hydride is described. mer-(Me3P)3Ir (H)(H)Cl can be used as a homogeneous hydrogenation catalyst in water.
