Description

Bis(Pyridine)(1,5-Cyclooctadiene)Iridium(I) Hexafluorophosphate, 99% is a high-purity organometallic complex featuring a cationic iridium(I) center coordinated by a cyclooctadiene ligand and two pyridine molecules, with a hexafluorophosphate counterion. This compound is a valuable catalyst precursor in homogeneous catalysis, particularly for hydrogenation, transfer hydrogenation, and C-H activation reactions due to its electron-rich and coordinatively unsaturated nature. It is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and advanced materials sectors seeking efficient and selective catalytic systems.
