1,5-Cyclooctadiene(pyridine)(tricyclohexylphosphine)iridium(I) hexafluorophosphate（Cat No.:R029534）is a coordination complex featuring an iridium(I) center ligated by 1,5-cyclooctadiene (COD), pyridine, and bulky tricyclohexylphosphine ligands. The compound is stabilized by a hexafluorophosphate (PF₆⁻) counterion, contributing to its solubility in polar solvents. This iridium complex is widely used in homogeneous catalysis, particularly in asymmetric hydrogenation and C–H activation reactions due to its electron-rich metal center and versatile ligand environment. The presence of both soft (phosphine) and hard (pyridine) donors enables fine-tuning of reactivity, making it a powerful tool in synthetic and organometallic chemistry.
