Abstract The first iridium(I) complex containing siloxyl and N-heterocyclic carbene ligand such as [Ir(cod)(Mes)(OSiMe(3))] (1) and [Ir(CO)(2)(IMes)(OSiMe(3))] (3) have been synthesized and their structures solved by spectroscopy and X-ray methods as well as catalytic properties in selected hydrogenation reactions have been presented in comparison to their chloride analogues, i.e. [Ir(Cl)(cod)(IMes)] (2) and [Ir(Cl)(CO)(2)(IMes)] (4). The attempts at synthesis of iridium(l) complex with tert-butoxyl ligand has failed as leading instead to the iridium hydroxide complex [Ir(cod)(OH)(IMes)] (5) whose X-ray structure has also been solved. All complexes (1)-(5) show square planar geometry typical of the four-coordinated iridium complexes. Catalytic activity of complexes 1 and 2 was tested in transfer hydrogenation of acetophenone and hydrogenation of olefins. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier B.V.
