Physical Data: yellow solid at room temperature. Soluble in N-methyl 2-pyrrolidinone, tetrahydrofuran, dichloromethane, and N,N-dimethylformamide. Not soluble in water.1 Preparative Methods: tris-cyclometalation with 2-(2,4-difluorophenyl)pyridine and IrCl3 at 205 °C in H2O at 97% yield.2 Purification: preparation of catalyst generally results in pure product. Further purification possible through flash chromatography (dry loaded) using hexane:ethyl acetate on a silica column.3 Handling and Storage: generally considered bench stable and air and moisture insensitive as a solid.
