Background and overview[1]
1,5-Cycloctadiene bis(methylbiphenylphosphine)iridium hexafluorophosphate abbreviation [Ir(cod)(PMePh2)2] PF6, is an iridium metal catalyst. There are reports in the literature that it can further react with 2,2-bipyridine to form another iridium metal catalyst [Ir(bipy)H2(PRPh2) 2] PF6.

[Ir(cod)(PMePh2)2] PF6 Preparation of [Ir(bipy)H2 sub>(PRPh2)2] The method of PF6 is as follows:
Combine [Ir(cod)(PMePh2)2] PF6 (1 equivalent, 286.3 mg, 0.338 mmol) and 2 ,2-bipyridine (1 equiv, 53.0 mg, 0.338 mmol) was dissolved in degassed CH2Cl2 (10 mL). The resulting red solution was cooled to 0°C. Dihydrogen gas was bubbled in with constant stirring for 20 minutes. Diethyl ether (100 mL) was added dropwise to the orange solution to precipitate 250.9 mg of beige solid (82.9%), which was obtained by vacuum filtration and dried under vacuum. Recrystallize with CH2Cl2/Et2O.

Report 2,
Albinati A et al. reported that [Ir(cod)(PMePh2)2] PF6 can be further prepared [(eta5- C5H5)M(mu-H)2(mu-(eta5:eta1-C5H4))IrH(PMePh2)2][BPh4] (M = Mo and W).
