Synthesis and characterization of pyrene-based tetranuclear IR(I) complexes

Abstract

As stated in the introduction, the objective of this work is to obtain and characterize an iridiumbased bis-pincer metallic compound. This complex is expected to feature a Janus-type topology. For this purpose, a tetra-imidazolium salt is chosen as a precursor since it is designed to coordinate in this form. The main objectives are: - Synthesis and characterization of a pyrene-based tetra-imidazolium salt following a synthetic route designed by QOMCAT group, starting from 1,3,6,8-tetrabromopyrene. - Synthesis and characterization of a Ir(I)-NHC complex.
