Article abstract of DOI:10.1016/S0022-328X(00)85705-8

The reaction of IrH3(PPh3)2 with p-substituted aryldiazonium salts gives the compounds ⁺BF4^- at low temperature (-10 deg C) and the o-metalated complexes (R=F, OCH3) at 40-50 deg C.The reactions of the o-metalated complexes with CO, PPh3, NaI and HCl have been studied.
