Abstract:In the structure of the title compound, [Ir(2)Cl(3)H(2)(C(36)H(28)P(2))(2)]BF(4) x 2 CH(2)Cl(2), the bimetallic cation features a confacial bioctahedral structure that is held together by three bridging chloride ions and is very close to C(2) symmetric. The hydrides are in a syn orientation (trans to the same halide bridge), and the chelating bis(phosphine) atropisomers display a racemic (R,R)/(S,S) configuration. Because of the high trans-bond-weakening influence of the hydride ligands, the Ir-Cl bonds trans … Show more
