Table 2. Rate constants for H2 production (k(obs)H2) and hydride interchange (k(obs)Hi) of 2A determined by EXSY at 273 K as a function of H2 pressure when amine concentration was fixed at 15 eq. relative to iridium precatalyst.
H2 pressure | k (obs)H2/s–1 | k (obs)Hi/s–1 |
1 bar | 0.60 ± 0.01 | 1.05 ± 0.01 |
2 bar | 0.95 ± 0.01 | 0.92 ± 0.01 |
3 bar | 1.13 ± 0.01 | 0.88 ± 0.01 |
