“…Careful oxidation of fac-[IrCl 3 F 3 ] 22 with BrF 3 or KBrF 4 gave the monoanion, characterised by IR and Raman spectra and X-ray crystallography. 140 The reaction of [IrBr 6 ] 22 with KNCS gave linkage isomers of trans-[IrBr 2 (NCS) n (SCN) 4 2 n ] 22 (n = 0-2) with IR and Raman spectra and a crystal structure determination for n = 0. 141 GeBr 2 in HBr forms [GeBr 3 ] 2 , which forms complexes with IrBr 3 , giving [IrBr n (GeBr 3 ) 6 2 n ] 32 , which were isolated for n = 3-5 as Cs + salts, that with n = 4 proving more labile to substitution than [IrBr(SnBr 3 ) 5 ] 32 .…”
