Abstract

A reaction of [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ {Cp* = η⁵-C₅(CH₃)₅} and 2-mercaptobenzimidazole (H₂bimt) in methanol in a 1:2 molar ratio gave a yellow complex of [Cp*IrCl₂(H₂bimt)] ·CH₃OH (1). In compound 1 the H₂bimt acts as a monodentately S-donating (κS) ligand. A similar reaction of [Cp*IrCl₂]₂ and H₂bimt in the presence of NaOCH₃ (molar ratio of 1:2:2) gave an orange product (2) on addition of excess amount of NH₄PF₆. Compound 2 was composed of an unsymmetrical dinuclear complex cation, [(Cp*IrCl)₂(μ- Hbimt)(μ-H₂bimt)]⁺, a PF₆^- anion, and water molecules of crystallization. In the complex cation, H ₂bimt bridges two Ir^III centers by S atom in the μ-κS:κS mode, while the monodeprotonated Hbimt^- ligand bridges via S and N atoms in the μ-κS:κN¹ mode.
