Iridium acetylacetonate are iridium coordination complex with the formula Ir(O2C5H7)3, which is sometimes known as Ir(acac)3. The molecule has D3-symmetry.[2] It is a yellow-orange solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Two isomers are known, both prepared from IrCl3(H2O)3 and acetylacetone. Procedures exist that favor the O6-isomer[3] and the C-bonded form.[4]

C-bonded isomer

A second isomer of Iridium acetylacetonate is also known. In this isomer, two of the acetylacetonate ligands are bonded to Ir through carbon.[4]

Structures of C-bonded "Ir(acac)3"

Uses

The O6-bonded isomer has been investigated for use chemical vapor deposition (CVD). One example is the deposition of red phosphorescent emitter compounds used in OLEDS.[5][6]

The C-bonded isomer has been investigated as a catalyst for C-H activation reactions.[4]
