	Reaction of a four coordinate, 16-electron Ir complex, [Ir-(iPr)4(POCOP)(PPh3)] (4 ) (((iPr)4)(POCOP= 2,6-bis(di-isopropyl phosphinito)benzene, kappa(3)-C6H3-1,3-[OP((iPr))(2)](2)), with H-2 resulted in an oxidative addition product, cis-dihydride complex, cis-[Ir(H)(2) ((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)] ( cis-5 ) presumably via the intermediacy of a sigma complex, [Ir(eta(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)]. The cis-dihydride complex completely isomerizes to the trans-dihydride complex trans-[Ir(H)(2) ((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)] ( trans-5 ) under ambient conditions in about 3 h. It was found that the steric and electronic features on the iridium center have significant influence on the approach of H-2 onto the metal center followed by oxidative addition and isomerization. The isomerization process was studied in detail and all the mechanistic aspects have been elucidated using a combination of both experimental work and computation. The cis-dihydride complex isomerizes to the trans-dihydride by compensating the trans influence of the strongly trans-directing hydride ligand. A mechanism involving the exchange of the position of PPh3 with a hydride ligand cis to itself via PPh3 dissociation and re-coordination thereby resulting in the formation of the trans-dihydride complex, has been proposed for the isomerization. The cis-dihydride was found to be a highly active catalyst for hydrogenation of ethy-lene. A competing reactivity study of cis-dihydride between isomerization versus insertion of C2H4 into the Ir-H bond, was studied experimentally and computationally. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V.

	The Abstraction of chloride from a six- coordinate complex, trans-[ Ir(H)(Cl)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)] (1) [((iPr)4)(POCOP) = 2,6-bis(di-iso-propylphosphinito)benzene,kappa(3)-C6H3-1,3-[OP(Pr-i)(2 )](2)], using NaBAr4f leads to the generation of a dinitrogen complex, trans-[Ir(H)(N-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)][BAr4f] (6). Addition of H-2 to [Ir(H)(N-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) (6) under extremely mild conditions (1 bar, 298 K) resulted in the reversible coordination of H-2 to generate the cis-[Ir(H)(eta H-2-(2))((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) (cis-11) complex. The cis-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) complex (cis-11) isomerized to a trans isomer, trans-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) (trans-11), at 253 K. The isomerization process has been studied and supported by computations. Employing an alternative route, protonation of the trans-[Ir(H)(2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)] complex (2) at 183 K resulted in the formation of an identical, trans-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) complex (trans-11); upon warming the sample, the trans-H-2/hydride complex isomerized to the cis isomer above 253 K. Two independent routes to obtain trans-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) (trans-11) species have been established. Reaction of trans-[Ir(H)(N-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)][BAr4f] (6) with C2H4 gave the cis-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-C2H4)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) complex (cis-15), which also undergoes isomerization to yield an equilibrium mixture of cis/trans-[Ir(H)(eta(2)-C2H4)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) complexes (cis-15 and trans-15) at 253 K. The trans-[Ir(H)(N-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(PPh3)](+) complex (6) is an excellent catalyst for hydrogenation of ethylene to ethane under very mild conditions.&lt;/p&gt;

	Treatment of trans-[Ir(H)(N)(2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(DMAP)][BAr4f] (2) with H-2 (1 bar) under ambient conditions (298 K) results in the formation of a trans-[Ir(H)(?(2)-H-2)((iPr)4)(POCOP)(DMAP)][BAr4f] (3) complex. Complex 3 exhibits H-atom site exchange between the bound H-2 and the hydride ligands which are mutually trans to one another. A plausible mechanism of this exchange involves metal-ligand cooperativity as studied by computations.&lt;/p&gt;
