Access to homoleptic phosphinine-based
coordination compounds of
d<sup>6</sup> 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)<sub>3</sub>]. This result
opens up new perspectives for the implementation of such aromatic
heterocycles in more applied research fields.
