The reaction of [Cp∗IrCl2]2 (Cp* = η5 − C5Me5) with the tridentate 3-thiapentane-1,5-dithiolate ligand, S(CH2CH2S−)2 (tpdt), led to the formation of [Cp∗Ir(η3 − tpdt)] (1) in 81% isolated yield. Subsequent reactions of 1 with [Cp∗IrCl2]2 in 2:1 and 1:1 molar equiv ratios resulted in the formation of...
