Abstract

The iridium(iii/iv/v) imido redox series [Ir(N t Bu){N(CHCHP t Bu <subscript>2</subscript> ) <subscript>2</subscript> }] <superscript>0/+/2+</superscript> was synthesized and examined spectroscopically, magnetically, crystallographically and computationally. The monocationic iridium(iv) imide exhibits an electronic doublet ground state with considerable 'imidyl' character as a result of covalent Ir-N t Bu bonding. Reduction gives the neutral imide [Ir(N t Bu){N(CHCHP t Bu <subscript>2</subscript> ) <subscript>2</subscript> }] as the first example of an iridium complex with a triplet ground state. Its reactivity with respect to nitrene transfer to selected electrophiles (CO <subscript>2</subscript> ) and nucleophiles (PMe <subscript>3</subscript> ), respectively, is reported.
