Title: A new ortho-metalated dichloro-bridged complex of iridium(III) with 2,2 prime -bipyridine: ((Ir(bpy-C sup 3 ,N prime )(bpy-N,N prime )Cl) sub 2 )(Cl) sub 2

A novel orthomethalated dichloro-bridged dimer of the composition ((Ir(bpy-C{sup 3},N{prime}) (bpy-N,N{prime})Cl){sub 2}){sup 2+} was produced by the reaction of iridium chlorides with 2,2{prime}-bipyridine under controlled conditions. Results of elemental, molecular weight, mass spectroscopic, and {sup 1}H and {sup 13}C NMR spectral analyses are consistent with the proposed structure. The cyclic voltametric studies showed to reversible oxidation waves indicative of a dinuclear species, and acid-base character noted for the iridium complex is consistent with a species possessing a basic nitrogen site, and this is consistent with the proposed structure. 6 refs., 1 fig.
