9 Tricyclohexylphosphine Complexes of Ruthenium, Rhodium, and Iridium and Their Reactivity Toward Gas Molecules BRIAN R. J A M E S and M I C H A E L P R E E C E Department of Chemistry, University of British Columbia, British Columbia, Vancouver V 6 T 1Y6, Canada S T E P H E N D. ROBINSON Department of Chemistry, King's College, Strand, London WC2R 2LS, England

Single-stage syntheses from commercially available chlorides and spectroscopic characterization are given for several tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy ) complexes of ruthenium [HRuCl(CO)(PCy ) , Ru(CO) (PCy ) ], rho dium [HRhCl (PCy ) , trans-RhCl(CO)(PCy ) ], and iri dium [HIrCl (PCy ) , trans-IrCl(CO)(PCy ) ]. The iridium (I) precursor [IrCl(C H ) ] has been used to yield HIrCl (PCy ) (dma) (dma = oxygen-bonded Ν,Ν'dimethylacetamide), H IrCl(PCy ) , and deuterated de rivatives, HIr(OH)Cl(CH CN)(PCy ) , IrCl(C H CN)(PCy ) , and IrCl(PCy )2O2. Further data are presented 3
