Preparation and isomerism edit
It is prepared from IrCl3(H2O)3 and acetylacetone.[3] The complex has been resolved into individual enantiomers by separation of its adduct with dibenzoyltartaric acid.[4]
A second linkage isomers is also known. In the second isomer one of the acetylacetonate ligands is bonded to Ir through carbon.[5]
Uses edit
The O6-bonded isomer has been investigated for use chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One example is the deposition of red phosphorescent emitter compounds used in OLEDs.[6][7]
The C-bonded isomer has been investigated as a catalyst for C-H activation reactions.[5]
