Comment top

Crystal data for binuclear complexes of d8 transition metals of the type [L2M(µ-X)]2 (M= Rh or Ir; X = halide) and their theoretical analyses have been reported (Aullón et al., 1998; Cotton, et al., 1999). However, their iodide analogues are fairly rare. Among the known complexes, cyclooctadiene derivatives of the Group 8 transition metals, i.e. [M(µ-Cl)(COD)]2 (M = IrI or RhI; cod = cis,cis-1,5-cyclooctadiene), have been used as key starting materials for the preparation of various kinds of IrI or RhI complexes, that are efficient catalyst precursors. For example, the molecular structure of [Ir(µ-Cl){(R)-binap}]2 has been reported (Yamagata et al., 1997), which was prepared from the reaction of [Ir(µ-Cl)(cod)]2 with two equivalents of (R)-binap, where (R)-binap is (R)-(+)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl, as well as its use as an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric hydrogenation of prochiral imines (Tani et al., 1995).

The catalytic asymmetric olefin hydroamination with [Ir(µ-Cl)(diphosphine)]2 and the structure of [Ir(µ-Cl){(R)-binap}]2 have also been investigated by Togni and co-workers (Dorta et al., 1997). Although [Rh(µ-Cl)(cod)]2 (De Ridder & Imhoff, 1994) has an almost planar structure (the hinge angle is 169.1 (3)°), [Ir(µ-Br)(cod)]2 (Yamagata et al., 2007), [Ir(µ-Cl)(cod)]2 (Cotton et al., 1986), and [Rh(µ-Br)(cod)]2 (Pettinari et al., 2002) show bent structures; with hinge angles of 101.58 (3)°, 109.4 (3)°, and 148.7 (3)°, respectively. Thus, it was thought of interest to examine the structure of [Ir(µ-I)(cod)]2, (I), Fig. 1 & Table 1. The structure of (I) resembles those of the aforementioned [M(µ-X)(cod)]2 structures, indeed the structures are isomorphous. In (I), the Ir2(µ-I)2 core shows a bent geometry with the hinge angle of 95.26 (1)°. The M···M distances in (I), [Ir(µ-Br)(cod)]2, [Ir(µ-Cl)(cod)]2, and [Rh(µ-Br)(cod)]2 are 2.9228 (6), 2.9034 (5), 2.910 (1), and 3.565 Å, respectively. The degree of bending is Ir > Rh and I > Br > Cl. These tendencies can be explained by the differences in diffuseness of the metal's d orbitals and by analyzing the <pz2/dz2> and <dz2/dz2> overlap integrals between the Slater orbitals (EH calculations) (Aullón et al., 1998).

Experimental top

In a Schlenk flask with ether (50 ml) were added [Ir(µ-Cl)(cod)]2 (0.429 g, 0.639 mmol) and NaI (1.33 g, 8.86 mmol). The mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 12 h. All volatiles were removed under reduced pressure and the residual washed with five portions of water (15 ml). The washings were monitored using aqueous silver nitrate. The resulting solid was washed with ethanol (10 ml) and dried in vacuo to yield [Ir(µ-I)(cod)]2 as a deep-red solid (0.441 g, 81%). Recrystallization from THF afforded an analytically pure product; m.pt. 522–527 K (dec.). 1H NMR (CDCl3, 308 K, 300 MHz, δ, p.p.m.): 4.43–4.44 (m, 8H, =CH), 2.10–2.14 (m, 8H, –CHH–), 1.13–1.36 (m, 8H, –CHH–). Analysis found: C 22.82, H 2.86%; C16H24I2Ir2 requires: C 22.49, H 2.83%.

Refinement top

All H-atoms were included in the riding model approximation with C—H distances in the range 0.95–0.99 Å, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) [or 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl groups]. The final difference Fourier map gave a maximum peak of 5.91 e Å-3 2.58 Å from the Ir atom and 2.35 Å from the I atom. The minimum hole of -5.04 e Å-3 was 0.66 Å from the Ir atom.

Experimental. Indexing was performed from 3 oscillations which were exposed for 2.0 minutes. The camera radius was 127.40 mm. Readout performed in the 0.100 mm pixel mode. #1 Phi=0.0, chi=55.0, omega=80.0 to 260.0 with 2.0deg step #2 Phi=180.0, chi=45.0, omega=0.0 to 180.0 with 2.0deg step #3 Phi=90.0, chi=20.0, omega=0.0 to 120.0 with 2.0deg step #4 Phi=180.0, chi= -5.0, omega=0.0 to 120.0 with 2.0deg step A total of 300 images, corresponding to 600.0 °. Osillation angles were collected with 4 different goniometer setting. Exposure time was 2.0 minutes per degree. The camera radius was 127.40 mm. Readout was performed in the 0.100 mm pixel mode.

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.
