Cationic iridium diolefin complexes as alkene hydrogenation catalysts and the isolation of some related hydrido complexes
TL;DR: In non-coordinating solvents, such as CH 2 Cl 2, the complexes [Ir(cod)L 2 ]PF 6 (I) and [Ir[cod]L(py)]PF 6(II) (cod 1,5-cyclooctadiene; py pyridine, L ǫ tertiary phosphine) are very active homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts for alkenes as discussed by the authors.

Journal ArticleDOI
Dihydridoiridium diolefin complexes as intermediates in homogeneous hydrogenation
TL;DR: Two isomeric series of dihydrido-diolefin complex cations, cis- and cis-trans- [IrH2(cod)L2]PF6 (cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene; L = tertiary phosphine) have been observed directly by PMR spectroscopy and in some cases have been isolated as crystalline solids as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Activation of C-H bonds in saturated hydrocarbons. The catalytic functionalisation of cycloöctane by means of some soluble iridium and ruthenium polyhydride systems
TL;DR: In this paper, a variety of iridium and ruthenium polyhydrides, at 150°C, in the presence of an olefin as the hydrogen acceptor, were used for homogeneous catalytic dehydrogenation of cyclooctane into cycloctene.
