PRODUCTION OF IRIDIUM COMPLEXES

摘要

The invention relates to a process for producing a trivalent hexadentate ortho-metallated iridium complex with an iridium compound and a coordination compound as starting materials, which is characterized in that a monovalent iridium dinulear complex represented by the following formula (I)is used:(wherein A represents a non-conjugated diene compound; and X represents a halogen atom).According to the invention, it is possible to carry out the successive reactions in the same reaction vessel (i.e., one-pot reaction) by using the complex produced in the above process in the next step without isolation and purification.
