Abstract
A reaction of iodide [(η5-indenyl)IrI2]n (1) with thallium dicarbollide Tl[Tl(η-7,8-C2B9H11)] leads to (indenyl)iridacarborane (η5-indenyl)Ir(η-7,8-C2B9H11) (2) in 32% yield. The X-ray diffraction study showed that in the structure of 2, the five-membered rings C5 and C2B3 have a cisoid conformation, in which the bridgehead carbon atoms of the indenyl ligand are arranged opposite to the carborane cage carbon atoms. The DFT calculations showed that the Ir—indenyl bond in compound 2 is weaker than the Ir—Cp bond in the complex (η-7,8-C2B9H11)IrCp.
