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 A˚ longer than...

In the mononuclear title iridium(III) complex, [Ir(C4H8)- (C15H22BN6)(C3H9P)], which is based on the [tris(3,5- dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)hydroborato]iridium moiety, Ir[TpMe2], the IrIII atom is coordinated by a chelating butane-1,4-diyl fragment and a trimethylphosphane ligand in a modestly distorted octahedral coordination environment formed...

Cationic rhodium(I) complexes containing picolyl-NHC (NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene) ligands that differ in the substitution at the 6-position of the pyridine donor serve as efficient E-selective alkyne hydrosilylation catalyst precursors. Particularly, when the steric hindrance of the picolyl fragment is increased, a catalyst...

Metal complexes incorporating proton-responsive ligands have been proved to be superior catalysts in reactions involving the H2 molecule. In this contribution, a series of IrIII complexes based on lutidine-derived CNNH pincers containing N-heterocyclic carbene and secondary amino NHR [R = Ph (4a), tBu (4b), benzyl (4c)] donors as flanking...

Ru complexes based on lutidine-derived pincer CNN(H) ligands having secondary amine side donors are efficient precatalysts in the hydrogenation and dehydrogenation of N-heterocycles. Reaction of a Ru-CNN(H) complex with an excess of base produces the formation of a Ru(0) derivative, which is observed under catalytic conditions.

Reduction of nitrous oxide (N2O) with H2 to N2 and water is an attractive process for the decomposition of this greenhouse gas to environmentally benign species. Herein, a series of iridium complexes based on proton-responsive pincer ligands (1−4) are shown to catalyze the hydrogenation of N2O under mild conditions (2 bar H2/N2O (1:1), 30 °C)....
