Abstract
Hydrocarbon solution of $Ir(PPh_3)_2(CO)OClO_3$ reacts with $Ph_2PC_6H_4$-o-CHO and 3-methyl-2-aminopyridinyl aldimine to yield ${\bar{Ir(Ph_2PC_6H_4-o-CO)}}\;(PPh_3)_2(CO)(H)ClO_4$(1) and ${\bar{Ir(NC_6H_6NC}}C_6H_5)(PPh_3)_2(CO)(H)ClO_4$(2), respectively. The compound $Ir(PPh_3)_2N_2Cl$ also reacts with $Ph_2PC_6H_4$-o-CHO and 3-methyl-2-aminopyridinyl aldimine to give ${\bar{Ir(Ph_2PC_6H_4-o-C}}O)(PPh_3)_2(H)Cl(3)$ and $Ir(NC_6H_5NCC_6H_5(PPh_3)_2(H)Cl(4)$, respectively. Compounds 1, 2, 3, and 4 were characterized by infrared, $^1H$ NMR, $^{31}p$ NMR, UV spectra, and conductivity measurements.
