(Acetylacetonato)dicarbonyliridium(I) (Cat No.: M055314) is a square planar organometallic complex with the formula Ir(CO)₂(acac), where “acac” denotes the acetylacetonate ligand. This compound features iridium in the +1 oxidation state coordinated by two carbonyl ligands and a bidentate acetylacetonate. It is air-sensitive and typically used as a catalyst precursor in hydrogenation, hydroformylation, and carbonylation reactions. Its well-defined structure and reactive metal center make it valuable for mechanistic studies in organometallic chemistry and for developing selective homogeneous catalytic processes in fine chemical synthesis.
