Exploring the Reactivity of C(sp(3))-Cyclometalated Ir-III Compounds in Hydrogen Transfer Reactions

The manuscript describes the synthesis and full characterization of a new PC(sp(3))P-based cyclometalated Ir-III complex that manifests all exceptional thermal stability, as well as outstanding reactivity in hydrogen transfer reactions. The described compound represents the first example of a new family of stable C-(sp(3))-metalated compounds.
