Interestingly, refrigerants R-134a and R-125 produced semi-stable and stable C-H activation products, respectively, at 80 °C, despite having alpha-fluorines that were susceptible to rapid eliminations in prior systems.9 , 10 In order to assess the stability of possible iridium hydrofluoroolefin complexes derived from R-134a and R-125 at higher temperatures, and to provide rapid access to a variety of iridium hydrofluoroolefin complexes that could result from conversions of the parent refrigerants, ligand substitution reactions with [(POCOP)Ir(NBE)] (14, NBE = norbornene) were explored (Scheme 2). Complex 14 was synthesized in an analogous fashion to the previously reported [(PCP)Ir(NBE)] complex described in Figure 1A,9126
