Influence of halide ligands on the energetics of the reversible loss of hydrogen from the Iridium nonclassical polyhydride complexes IrXH[sub 2](H[sub 2])(PPr[sup i][sub 3])[sub 2] (X = Cl, Br, I)

Recently there has been a great deal of interest in nonclassical polyhydride complexes. Early studies of these complexes were primarily concerned with the determination of the dihydrogen versus hydride character of the metal-bound hydrogen. More recent studies have focused on the influence of the ligand environmental on the metal-dihydrogen interaction. Crabtree and Kubas have shown that the activation of dihydrogen ligands increase with increasing basicity of ancillary phosphine ligands. The authors have demonstrated a threshold to the steric sensitivity of the energetics of the reversible binding of H[sub 2] by the complexes IrClH[sub 2](PR[sub 3])[sub 2](R = Pr[sup i] (1a), Cy (1b), Bu[sup t] (1c)). These results also suggest that the presence of the chloride ligand in 1a is responsible for the arrested activation of dihydrogen in IrClH[sub 2](H[sub 2])(PPr[sup i][sub 3])[sub 2] (2) relative to IrH[sub 5](PPr[sup i][sub 3])[sub 2](X = Br (3), I (4)) and compared their hydrogen binding behavior to that previously observed for IrClH[sub 2](PPr[sup i][sub 3])[sub 2] (1a).
