title: Iridium(III) azuliporphyrins.
abstract: Azuliporphyrins were reacted with [Ir(COD)Cl](2) in refluxing o- or p-xylene to give novel iridium(III) derivatives that regioselectively incorporated an oxidized solvent molecule. The iridium(III) is inserted within the porphyrinoid macrocycle and possesses an additional apical acyl unit.
