Hydrogen interaction with solid iridium complexes IrXH{sub 2}(PPr3{sup i}){sub 2} (X=Cl, I) was investigated. Gaseous hydrogen was found to react reversibly with solid chloro-iridium complex IrClH{sub 2}(PPr3{sup i}){sub 2} forming IrClH{sub 2}(PPr3{sup i}){sub 2}H{sub 2}. The relative partial molal enthalpy and entropy were obtained from equilibrium isotherms at different hydrogen concentrations. The decrease in entropy with increasing hydrogen concentration and the absence of plateaus in the equilibrium isotherms were consistent with a single phase solid solution with two chemical components. Hydrogen release from solid iodo-iridium complex IrIH{sub 2}(PPr3{sup i}){sub 2}H{sub 2} was not observed at temperatures up to 350 K, indicating stronger hydrogen bonding. {copyright} {ital 1999 Materials Research Society.}
