If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |

Synthesis
The synthesis of trimesityliridium(III) was first reported in 1992 following a procedure described in the corresponding paper as “essentially the same as that for Rh(mes)3.”[1] The rhodium analog had been synthesized as a result of a prior collaboration between the same research groups responsible for this iridium complex, the labs of Michael Hursthouse and Geoffrey Wilkinson.[2] Trimesityliridium(III) was first synthesized via the reaction of the Grignard reagent mesitylmagnesium bromide (MesMgBr) with IrCl3(tht), where tht = tetrahydrothiophene, in diethyl ether.
