In the complex [Ir(cod)(η2-L)]SbF6 (2, L = o-BrC6H4PPh2), L chelates to Ir via P and the Br bound to the aromatic ring. Complex 2 was formed from Ir-(cod)(η1-L)Cl (1) with AgSbF6. 2 reacts with Cl- to give 1, with MeCN to give [Ir(cod)(MeCN)(η1-L)]SbF6 reversibly, and with H2 to give [IrH2(cod)(η2-L)]SbF6, a hydrogenation catalyst.
