Detailed studies on the electrochemical oxidation of the 18-electron IrH(CO)(PPh3)3 complex have been undertaken in dichloromethane. Under voltammetric conditions, the process IrH(CO)(PPh3)3 ? [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]+ + e-, which leads to the formation of the 17-electron [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]+ cation, is chemically and electrochemically reversible. In contrast, the 16-electron dication [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]2+, formed by a further one-electron oxidation process, is very reactive and undergoes a rapid internal redox reaction, [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]2+ ? [Ir(CO)(PPh3)3]+ + H+, to form the stable 16-electron [Ir(CO)(PPh3)3]+ species. In situ infrared (IR) spectroelectrochemical studies at low temperature, enable the v(CO) and v(IrH) IR bands to be obtained for [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]+ as well as for transiently formed [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]2+. EPR spectra obtained from frozen solutions of electrochemically generated [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]+ have been simulated. In agreement with results of density functional calculations on related IrX(CO)(PPh)3 (X = H, Cl) complexes, the EPR data are consistent with [IrH(CO)(PPh3)3]+ having a square pyramidal structure. Data are compared with those available for oxidation of the analogous RhH(CO)(PPh3)3 complex. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A.

Vaska type organometallic complexes trans-Ir(R)(CO)(PPh3)2 (R = CH3, CH2CN, C6H5) are oxidized in 1,2-dichloroethane containing PPh3 in two one-electron steps, the first involving addition of PPh3 prior to reversible electron transfer.One-electron electro
