“…Table shows the reference data of the 193 Ir (73 keV) Mössbauer isomer shifts , for the Ir benchmark complexes to obtain the fitting parameters, α, b , and c , in eq as well as the referenced crystal structure data for the molecular modeling. − The Ir benchmark complexes exhibit octahedral geometries, including tri-, tetra-, and hexavalent Ir ions, whose δ values relative to Ir metal change from −2.26 to +1.45 mm s –1 . The δ values of [Ir III L 6 ] 3+/3– increase in the order of L = Br – < Cl – < SCN – < NH 3 < CN – , reflecting the tendency in the strength of the coordination bonds known as the spectrochemical series. − Table also shows the reference data of the 193 Ir (73 keV) Mössbauer spectroscopic parameters , and the crystal structure data − of Vaska’s complexes trans -[Ir I X(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (X = I – ( 1 ), Br – ( 2 ), Cl – ( 3 ), and F – ( 4 )), which have pseudo-square-planar geometries with a 16 valence electron system consisting of the Ir(I) contributing 8 valence electrons, Cl – contributing 2 valence electrons, CO contributing 2 valence electrons, and the two PPh 3 ligands contributing 4 valence electrons for the 16 total, and those of the oxidative adducts trans -[Ir III ClYZ(CO)(PPh 3 ) 2 ] (YZ = Cl 2 ( 5 ), I 2 ( 6 ), O 2 ( 7 ), CH 3 I ( 8 ), HCl ( 9 ), and H 2 ( 10 )), which exhibit pseudo-octahedral geometries with an 18 valence electron system with the Ir(III) contributing 6 valence electrons, Cl – contributing 2 valence electrons, CO contributing 2 valence electrons, the two PPh 3 ligands contributing 4 valence electrons, and the two O 2 2– peroxide ligands contributing 4 valence electrons for the 18 total, as shown in Figure .…”
