Overcoming a long‐standing challenge, the o‐ and p‐dithiobenzoquinone iridium complexes [Cp*Ir‐o‐(η4‐C6H4S2)] (6) and [Cp*Ir‐p‐(η4‐C6H4S2)] (7) were rationally synthesized and fully characterized for the first time including the X‐ray molecular structure of [Cp*Ir‐p‐(η4‐C6H4S2)] (7). Our strategic approach involves the preparation of the halogenated 1,2‐ and 1,4‐dichloro arene π complexes [Cp*Ir‐o‐(η6‐C6H4Cl2)][BF4]2 (4) and [Cp*Ir‐p‐(η6‐C6H4Cl2)][BF4]2 (5), which are the key molecules for 6 and 7. Subsequent treatment of 4 and 5 with NaSH and halogen displacement provides the target thioquinonoid π complexes 6 and 7 in 88 % and 95 % yields respectively. Further, the coordination chemistry of the o‐dithiobenzoquinone iridium complex [Cp*Ir‐o‐(η4‐C6H4S2)] (6) was studied by treating 6 with [(bpy)PtCl2] in the presence of AgOTf, which provided the novel platinum complex [Pt(bpy){Cp*Ir‐o‐(η4‐C6H4S2)}][OTf]2 (10) in 91 % yield. The X‐ray molecular structure of 10 is reported and shows as outstanding features the formation of 1D supramolecular assembly, which results from π–π (d = 3.484 Å; d = 3.669 Å) and Pt···Pt (d = 3.574 Å) interactions between individual subunits.(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
