Iridium acetylacetonate is the iridium coordination complex with the formula Ir(O2C5H7)3, which is sometimes known as Ir(acac)3. acetylacetonates are commonly used in various catalysts and catalytic reagents for organic synthesis, including the fabrication, Iridium acetyacetonates are found to be best source for iridium metal. How can it be prepared from pure Iridium metal? Is it possible to produce Ir-acac from halides of Iridium?
Try iridium(III) halide with acac in basic medium
boil the soln for some time .
Thanks Ahmad Abushamleh. Can you please elaborate the preparation further in detail? It will help me to understand the process clearly.
The 1:3 ratio of iridium halide and acetylacetone reflux in the presence of basic medium(NaoH solution) to get the (Ir(acac)3) complexes...
These are all standard compounds having well defined and high yield synthetic procedures available in the literature. As a researcher it is your job to search and use it. Do not use this platform for trivial things because at the end you will not learn anything. While searching yourself, you may find even more interesting chemistry, and that you will miss in your research career and that is going to be a great loss for you. Try to be independent in performing research and bring any challenging question to this discussion platform to seek some solution. What I have seen now a days is, for any simple thing, people post here to get ready made answer. People are very courteous to answer these questions. Pose some challenging Q to the podium and try to read and understand yourself and perform and that will give an immense satisfaction and in that process you learn better chemistry.
Better start from today. Remember, iridium is very expensive metal too. Please perform the reaction very carefully and note down all the observations during its preparation.
With best wishes
