Homogeneous hydrogenation catalysed by square planar iridium (I) complexes
A study is described of the kinetics of reactions in which the complexes trans-Ir (CO)X(PPh₃)₂, where X = Cl, Br and I, are used for the catalytic homogeneous hydrogenation of olefins, in particular maleic acid. The catalytic activity is poor in benzene solutions but is enhanced in coordinating solv...
