Popis: The iridium(I) compounds HIr(cod)(PR 3 ) 2 (cod: 1,5-cyclooctadiene; PR 3 : Ph 3 , P( p -MeOC 6 H 4 ) 3 , P( o -MeOC 6 H 4 )Ph 2 , PCyPh 2 , PCy 2 Ph) were employed as catalyst precursors for the polymerization of phenylacetylene. The polyene was formed as the major product with all the catalysts except the PCy 2 Ph derivative, which promoted preferential formation of oligomers. In all cases the polymerization reactions were highly stereoselective, yielding 100% trans -polyphenylacetylene. From the catalytic mixtures the iridium(III) derivatives fac -HIr(CCPh) 2 (PR 3 ) 3 (PR 3 : PPh 3 , P( p -MeOC 6 H 4 ) 3 ) were isolated. The results of spectroscopic studies are also reported, which provide information on the evolution of the iridium precursors during the catalytic reaction.
