We report here on the preparation and full characterization of the first homoleptic phosphinine–iridium­(III) complex, obtained by C–H activation of 2,4,6-triphenylphosphinine with [Ir­(acac)<sub>3</sub>]. This result opens up new perspectives for the implementation of such aromatic heterocycles in more applied research fields. 2016-02-18 17:50:04 characterization Complex triphenylphosphinine coordination Activation Homoleptic activation Synthesi Phosphinine heterocycle homoleptic research fields compound fac perspective First phosphinine Characterization Ir preparation implementation Triphenylphosphinine 6 metals
