Unusual fragmentation of CH2Cl2 by an Ir(III) centre bonded to a doubly metalated Tp(Ms) Ligand (Tp(Ms) = hydrotris(3-mesitylpyrazol-1-yl)borate).
The Ir(III) compound Tp(Ms'')Ir(N2), that contains a pentadentate, doubly metalated 3-mesityl substituted tris(pyrazolyl)borate ligand, induces the cleavage of C-H and C-Cl bonds of CH2Cl2 to yield a highly electrophilic chlorocarbene Ir=C(H)Cl complex.
