Synthesis, characterization and dynamic behavior of some iridium carbonyl cluster complexes derived from Ir4(CO)12 with N-, P- and C-donor ligands: A survey

The synthesis of iridium dodecacarbonyl cluster derivatives Ir4(CO)12 with donor ligand such as amine, phosphites, hydrido and cyclic mono and dioxycarbene, NMR and X-ray characterization and fluxional behavior study in solution at variable temperature is briefly reviewed.
