Crystal structures of [μ2-(Ra,Sa,3aR,7aR)-1,3-bis(2,7-dicyclohexylnaphthalen-1-yl)octahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazolidin-2-ylidene]chlorido(η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene)iridium dichloromethane monosolvate and [μ2-(Sa,Sa,3aR,7aR)-1,3-bis(2,7-dicyclohexylnaphthalen-1-yl)octahydro-1H-benzo[d]imidazolidin-2-ylidene]chlorido(η4-1,5-cyclooctadiene)iridium

The title compounds, [Ir(C51H64N2)Cl(C8H12)]·CH2Cl2, (I), and [Ir(C51H64N2)Cl(C8H12)], (II), represent the first two examples of hexahydrobenzoimidazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) iridium complexes. The diastereomeric complexes differing only in their axial chirality, which could be separate...
