E. Broeckx, Wylliam Delaunay, Camille Latouche, Martin Lutz, Abdou Boucekkine, Muriel Hissler, Christian MüllerAccess to homoleptic phosphinine-based
coordination compounds of
d6 metals has so far remained elusive. 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)3]. This result
opens up new perspectives for the implementation of such aromatic
heterocycles in more applied research fields.
