Abstract

The reactivity of a number of Ir(I) complexes towards CO2 is explored using [Ir(NHC)(OH)] as a key synthon. CO2 insertion into Ir-O and Ir-N bonds proved facile, yielding a number of Ir(I)-carbonates and -carbamates. Most importantly, reaction between CO2 and Ir(I)-OH led to isolation of the novel [{Ir(I)}2-(μ-κ(1):κ(2)-CO3)] complex.
