It furthermore encloses some more detailed studies on their application as catalyst for the dehydrogenative coupling of the latter compounds. The results presented herein can be divided into three sections: I. synthesis and characterization of aryl dihydroborate ligated iridium(III) complexes II. and aryl phosphine coordinated iridium(I) and dihydrido iridium(III) complexes, III. as well as studies on the reactivity of the parent iridium pincer complexes towards BH3 adducts of primary phosphines, which led to first results in the homogeneous catalytic dehydrocoupling of P-aryl substituted phosphine boranes mediated by such iridium pincer complexes. The second part of the present work provides an insight into the chemistry of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel complexes as well as it encloses some more detailed studies on the properties and reactivity of the free carbenes itself. The results presented herein can be divided into four sections: I. synthesis and characterization of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbene-stabilized nickel carbonyl complexes, II. which allow the evaluation and quantification of the steric and electronic properties of these cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes, III. first studies on the reactivity of these novel nickel complexes, and IV. investigations on C-F and C-H bond activation at the carbene center of cyclic (alkyl)(amino) carbenes.}, subject = {Iridiumkomplexe}, language = {en} }
