Tc. Flood et al., Oxidation of [(cyclic triamine)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)iridium](+) cations by hydrogen peroxide forms metallaoxetanes, CHEM COMMUN, (17), 2000, pp. 1681-1682
Iridaoxetane 3 formed by oxidation of 1 with aqueous H2O2 is isolated and c
haracterized, providing a rare example of formation of a metallaoxetane by
direct oxidation of a metal-alkene complex.
