Iridium octaethylporphyrin hydride, Ir(OEP)(H), reacts with carbon monoxide to form the carbonyl complex Ir(OEP)(H)(CO) at the same conditions where Rh(OEP)(H) reacts with CO to produce the metalloformyl complex Rh-(OEP)(CHO). Thermodynamic studies for these reactions are reported and discussed in terms of differences in the M-H and M-C bond energies and the acceptor properties of the five-coordinate metalloporphyrin hydride complexes.
