Resumen: The tris(boryl) complex Ir(Bcat)3{¿3-P,O,P-[xant(PiPr2)2]} has been prepared. Its X-ray diffraction analysis structure reveals that the boryl groups are disposed in a mer rearrangement despite of the very strong trans influence of the boryl ligands. An energy decomposition analysis method coupled to natural orbitals for chemical valence suggests that the p-backdonation from the metal to the pz atomic orbital of the boron atom decreases about 43% in the Ir-B bonds disposed mutually trans with regard to the other one.
