Synthesis, characterization, and reactivity studies of iridium complexes bearing the ligand diphenylphosphidoboratabenzene

The synthesis, structure, and reactivity properties of three iridium square planar complexes bearing the anionic phosphine ligand diphenylphosphidoboratabenzene (DPB) are described. Reactivity studies show a rate enhancement for the oxidative addition of a substituted benzyl bromide and Me₃SnBr with DPB as a ligand in place of triphenylphosphine. Two products from the oxidative addition of p-chlorobenzyl bromide have been isolated and structurally characterized.
