✦ Synopsis


Polyethylene (PE) fdm is used as a matrix for studying temperature-dependent equilibria by IR spectroscopy; the film is impregnated with Cp%(CO)z (Cp%$-CsMes) using supercritical CO, and subsequently saturated with HORe (RF= (CFs)zCH or (CFs)sC). At 200 K, the equilibrium between Cp*Ir(CO)z and the hydrogen-bonded complex, Cp*Ir(CO)z...HOR,, is frozen out and can be disturbed photochemically, because Cp*Ir(CO)zis more efficient than Cp*Ir(CO)z...HORr for C-H activation of polyethylene.
