Abstract
In this paper, we report (η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium{1,3-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)imidazolin-2-ylidene}dichloride, 2, synthesized using a silver transfer agent generated from 1,3-bis(2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl)imidazolium bromide. Compound 2 was characterized using 1H and 19F NMR spectroscopy and mass spectrometry, and its structure was determined in a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study.
