title: Water addition to a two-electron mixed-valence bimetallic center.
abstract: Water adds to the two-electron mixed-valence Ir(0,II)(2) core of Ir(2)(tfepma)(3)Cl(2)(tfepma = MeN[P(OCH(2)CF(3))(2)](2)) to cleanly generate an Ir(I,III)(2) hydride. Dehydrohalogenation across the Ir-Ir bond returns the complex to an Ir(0,II)(2) species.
