The authors investigated addition of Vaska-type iridium complexes to C{sub 60} fullerene. Two products were observed and characterized: C{sub 60}(Ir(CO)Cl(PMe{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub 2}{center_dot}2C{sub 6}H{sub 6} and C{sub 60}(Ir(CO)Cl(PEt{sub 3}){sub 2}){sub 2}{center_dot}C{sub 6}H{sub 6}. These compounds were structurally characterized by X-ray crystallography and NMR spectroscopy. It is suggested that many isomers of the adducts are present in the reaction liquor, but low solubility of the observed products drives the observed distribution of solid products.
