ligand and Clꢀ. Compound 4 was formed by an addition of one
equivalent of Ir(CO)(PPh3)2Cl to 1 accompanied by the loss of
one CO ligand and Clꢀ. Interestingly, compound 4 was also
obtained by the reaction of 2 with one equivalent of Ir(CO)-
(PPh3)2Cl that was accompanied by the loss of one PPh3 ligand
and Clꢀ and also by reaction of 3 with PPh3 that was accom-
panied by a loss of CO and the elimination of the σ-phenyl ligand
and the hydrogen atom from the metalated phenyl ring.

’ CONCLUSIONS
Phenyl-substituted tin compounds are active for the synthesis
of anionic stable σ-phenyl iridium carbonyl cluster complexes by
transmetalation reactions. The anion 1 has sufficient nucleophi-
licity to react with the chloroiridium complex Ir(CO)(PPh3)2Cl
by halide displacement to yield uncharged pentairidium com-
plexes. Investigations of reactions of 1 with other metal halide
complexes are in progress.
