Abstract: In this work, a 16‐electron half‐sandwich Ir(III) complex (Cp*Ir(OCN−Ph‐Cl)C2B10H10, 2) featuring a bifunctional O,N‐o‐carborane ligand was synthesized, and its reactivity was thoroughly investigated. Further studies indicate that this complex could react with various donor ligands to achieve a stable 18‐electron species. Interestingly, the obtained 16‐electron complex 2 shows acid–base responsive behavior, namely reversible structural transformation between the 16‐electron complex 2 and 18‐electron complex 4 (Cp*IrCl(OCNH−Ph‐Cl)C2B10H10) with different coordination configuration. This work describes in detail the different reaction processes of half‐sandwich iridium complex and carborane ligand.
