Chlorido-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl-[2-(2-pyridyl-к<i>N</i>)-ferrocenyl-к<i>C</i>]-iridium(III)

Abstract

Treatment of 2-pyridyl-ferrocene wit [Cp*IrCl2]2 in the presence of NaOAc produces the title compound Cp*ClIr[(C5H3C5H4N-кN,кC)Fe(C5H5)] (2) in low yield. A crystal structure determination shows the (SpSIr/RpRIr)-2 enantiomeric pair of diastereomers.
