In the title compound, [Ir(C8H12)(C7H12N2)(C18H15P)]BF4·CH2Cl2, the Ir(I) atom has a square-planar conformation with normal bond lengths. One of the phenyl rings, and the solvent dichloro­methane mol­ecule, were refined using separate two part disorder models, each in an approximately 1:1 ratio.

Supporting information


Comment top

The title compound, (I), was prepared as part of our ongoing research on Rh and Ir-containing N-heterocyclic carbene complexes (Nichol et al., 2009). The Ir center has an expected square planar conformation and bond distances are unexceptional. One of the phenyl rings, and the solvent dichloromethane molecule, were refined using separate two part disorder models, each in an approximately 1:1 ratio. The structure of the isomorphous Rh analogue has also been reported (Nichol et al., 2010).

Experimental top

The title compound, (I), was synthesized by the reaction of [Ir(cod)(C7H12N2)Cl](0.369 mg, 0.80 mmol) and triphenylphosphene (211 mg, 0.80 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (8 ml) with silver tetrafluoroborate (157 m, 0.80 mmol) for 1.5 h. The mixture was filtered through Celite to remove silver chloride and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure. Crystals of the resulting solid of the title compound were obtained by slow diffusion of pentane into dichloromethane solution of the compound.

Refinement top

One of the phenyl rings, and the solvent dichloromethane molecule, were refined using separate two part disorder models, each in an approximately 1:1 ratio. Bond distance similarity restraints were applied to the dichloromethane molecule, and approximate isotropic restraints were used on the ellipsoids of the disordered C atoms of both the dichloromethane molecule and the phenyl ring. The largest residual peak is approximately 0.76Å from Ir. H atoms were first located in a difference map and then refined using UisoH = 1.5UeqC for methyl groups and UisoH = 1.2UeqC for all others and constrained C–H distances.

Special details top

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
