Abstract

Transition-metal hydride complexes bearing the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (C5Me5) ligand are of particular interest and importance in organometallic chemistry and homogeneous catalysis. For iridium hydride complexes bearing the C5Me5 ligand, a number of complexes in the oxidation states of+ 3,+ 4, and+ 5 have been synthesized and have had their reactivity studied in the past three decades. 1, 2 However, this type of ...
