Bis[1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane]carbonylchloroiridium(I)

It is used mainly as a research-grade iridium(I) complex and catalyst precursor in coordination chemistry, homogeneous catalysis and organometallic synthesis. The chelating dppe diphosphine ligands together with carbonyl and chloride ligands make it a useful platform for ligand-substitution chemistry and for preparing related iridium complexes.

Its CAS number is 15417-85-3 and its linear formula is [[(C6H5)2PCH2-]2]2Ir(CO)Cl, corresponding to a molecular weight of 1052.51. The MDL number is MFCD02686877.

We supply this compound as a research/technical-grade organometallic reagent for laboratory and synthesis use. We do not represent it as USP, BP or EP pharmacopoeial grade. Indicative purity, lot-specific assay and a Certificate of Analysis can be confirmed at the time of enquiry.

Handle it as a laboratory chemical using suitable personal protective equipment, including eye protection (eyeshields), gloves and, where airborne exposure is possible, an N95 (US) or P1 (EN143) respirator filter. It is classified as severely hazardous to water (WGK Germany 3), so prevent release to drains and the environment. The material melts with decomposition at about 205 °C; always consult the current Safety Data Sheet before use.

It is packed in tightly sealed containers appropriate to the order quantity and labelled to international standards, with packaging suited to an air-sensitive precious-metal complex. As a global supplier and exporter, Tech Serve Solutions arranges documentation and compliant shipment; the accompanying Safety Data Sheet should be consulted for the applicable transport classification.

Contact Tech Serve Solutions with your required quantity, packaging and destination, and our team will respond with availability, lead time and documentation. Samples and a Certificate of Analysis can be discussed at the enquiry stage.
