Description

Iridium(III) acetylacetonate is a coordination complex that is used as an oxidation catalyst. It has the ability to increase the rate of reactions in which water is the reactant or product. Iridium(III) acetylacetonate has a square-planar geometry, with four ligands bound to each metal ion. The coordination geometry of this complex determines its reactivity and selectivity. The reactivity of iridium(III) acetylacetonate can be enhanced by using less soluble salts, such as sodium carbonate or fluorine, to dissolve it in solution. This complex undergoes reaction mechanisms involving hydrogen abstraction and reductive elimination, depending on the conditions of the reaction solution. Iridium(III) acetylacetonate has been used for coatings on glass substrates and as a catalyst for growth kinetics studies and mechanism studies.
