<div>The synthesis and characterization of an iridium polyhydride complex (Ir-H4)</div><div>supported by an electron-rich PCP framework is described. This complex readily loses molecular</div><div>hydrogen allowing for rapid room temperature hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) at the hydridic</div><div>positions and the α-C-H site of the ligand with deuterated solvents such as benzene-d6, toluene-d8</div><div>and THF-d8. The removal of 1-2 equivalents of molecular H2 forms unsaturated iridium carbene</div><div>trihydride (Ir-H3) or monohydride (Ir-H) compounds that are able to create further unsaturation</div><div>by reversibly transferring a hydride to the ligand carbene carbon. These species are highly active</div><div>hydrogen isotope exchange (HIE) catalysts using C6D6 or D2O as deuterium sources for the</div><div>deuteration of a variety of substrates. By modifying conditions to influence the Ir-Hn speciation,</div><div>deuteration levels can range from near exhaustive to selective only for sterically accessible sites.</div><div>Preparative level deuterations of select substrates were performed allowing for procurement of</div><div>>95% deuterated compounds in excellent isolated yields; the catalyst can be regenerated by</div><div>treatment of residues with H2 and is still active for further reactions.</div>

A dinuclear N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) copper complex efficiently catalyzes azide–alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) “click” reactions. The ancillary ligand comprises two 4,5-dimethyl-1,3-thiazol-2-ylidene units and an ethylene linker. The three-step preparation of the complex from commercially available starting compounds is more straightforward and cost-efficient than that of the previously described 1,2,4-triazol-5-ylidene derivatives. Kinetic experiments revealed its high catalytic CuAAC activity in organic solvents at room temperature. The activity increases upon addition of acetic acid, particularly for more acidic alkyne substrates. The modular catalyst design renders possible the exchange of N-heterocyclic carbene, linker, sacrificial ligand, and counter ion.
