01 /Applications

Homogeneous catalysis research

Used as a defined iridium(I) complex and catalyst precursor in laboratory-scale homogeneous catalysis studies. Its electron-rich diphosphine environment makes it a useful starting point for exploring metal-mediated transformations.

Organometallic and coordination chemistry

Serves as a well-characterised building block for organometallic synthesis. The carbonyl and chloride ligands provide handles for substitution, oxidative addition and the preparation of related iridium complexes.

Diphosphine (dppe) ligand chemistry

The two chelating 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)ethane ligands make this compound a convenient platform for studying bis(diphosphine) coordination at iridium and the effects of strong, bidentate donor sets on metal reactivity.

Small-molecule activation studies

Electron-rich, low-valent iridium(I) phosphine carbonyl complexes are widely studied in academic settings for the binding and activation of small molecules. We recommend confirming suitability for any specific reaction before scale-up.

Reference and method development material

Supplied as a consistent, identity-verified iridium complex suitable as a reference standard and for analytical or synthetic method development in catalysis laboratories.
