A series of iridium complexes with bis(diisopropylphenyl)iminoacenaphtene (dpp-bian) ligands, [Ir(cod)(dpp-bian)Cl] (
), [Ir(cod)(NO)(dpp-bian)](BF
)
(
) and [Ir(cod)(dpp-bian)](BF
) (
), were prepared and characterized by spectroscopic techniques, elemental analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The structures of
-
feature a square planar backbone consisting of two C = C π-bonds of 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) and two nitrogen atoms of dpp-bian supplemented with a chloride ion (for
) or a NO group (for
) to complete a square-pyramidal geometry. In the nitrosyl complex
, the Ir-N-O group has a bent geometry (the angle is 125°). The CV data for
and
show two reversible waves between 0 and -1.6 V (vs. Ag/AgCl). Reversible oxidation was also found at E
= 0.60 V for
. Magnetochemical measurements for
in a range from 1.77 to 300 K revealed an increase in the magnetic moment with increasing temperature up to 1.2 μ
(at 300 K). Nitrosyl complex
is unstable in solution and loses its NO group to yield [Ir(cod)(dpp-bian)](BF
) (
). A paramagnetic complex, [Ir(cod)(dpp-bian)](BF
)
(
), was also detected in the solution of
as a result of its decomposition. The EPR spectrum of
in CH
Cl
is described by the spin Hamiltonian Ĥ = gβHŜ with S = 1/2 and g
= g
= 2.393 and g
= 1.88, which are characteristic of the low-spin 5d
-Ir(II) state. DFT calculations were carried out in order to rationalize the experimental results.
