The imine (C6F5)C(H)=NPh is unreactive toward the Ir precursors. The X-ray structures of 3, 4 center dot 2MeOH, and 5a center dot 1/2Me(2)CO show an eta(2)-N,C-imine moiety coordinated via the N atom and an orthometallated-C atom. Complex 3, which contains both an orthometallated imine and an eta(1)-imine, is the first structurally characterized hydrido-(eta(1)-imine)-Ir complex. Comparisons are made with data for the corresponding Rh systems.},
