Abstract
An (alkene)peroxoiridium(iii) complex, [Ir(L)(cod)(O 2)] [where LH = PhNC(NMe 2)NHPh and cod = 1,5-cyclooctadiene], was identified as an intermediate in the reaction of the Ir I precursor [Ir(L)(cod)] with O 2 and characterized by spectroscopic methods. Decay of the intermediate and further reaction with 1,5-cyclooctadiene produced 4-cycloocten-1-one
