<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.

AbstractAlkynes are amongst the most valuable functional groups in organic chemistry and widely used in chemical biology, pharmacy, and materials science. However, the preparation of alkyl-substituted alkynes still remains elusive. Here, we show a nickel-catalyzed deaminative Sonogashira coupling of alkylpyridinium salts. Key to the success of this coupling is the development of an easily accessible and bench-stable amide-type pincer ligand. This ligand allows naturally abundant alkyl amines as alkylating agents in Sonogashira reactions, and produces diverse alkynes in excellent yields under mild conditions. Salient merits of this chemistry include broad substrate scope and functional group tolerance, gram-scale synthesis, one-pot transformation, versatile late-stage derivatizations as well as the use of inexpensive pre-catalyst and readily available substrates. The high efficiency and strong practicability bode well for the widespread applications of this strategy in constructing functional molecules, materials, and fine chemicals.

After the successful creation of the newly designed PCP carbodiphosphorane (CDP) ligand [Reitsamer et al. (2012). Dalton Trans. 41, 3503–3514; Stallinger et al. (2007). Chem. Commun. pp. 510–512], the treatment of this PCP pincer system with the transition metal iridium and further the analysis of the structures by single-crystal diffraction and by NMR spectroscopy were of major interest. Two different iridium complexes, namely (bis{[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]diphenylphosphanylidene}methane-κ3 P,C,P′)carbonylchloridohydridoiridium(III) chloride dichloromethane trisolvate, [IrIII(CO){C(dppm)2-κ3 P,C,P′}ClH]Cl·3CH2Cl2 (1) and the closely related (bis{[(diphenylphosphanyl)methyl]diphenylphosphanylidene}methanide(1+)-κ3 P,C,P′)carbonylchloridohydridoiridium(III) dichloride–hydrochloric acid–water (1/2/5.5), [IrIII(CO){CH(dppm)2-κ3 P,C,P′)ClH]Cl}2 (2), have been designed and both complexes show a slightly distorted octahedral coordinated IrIII centre. The PCP pincer ligand system is arranged in a meridional manner, the CO ligand is located trans to the central PCP carbon and a hydride and chloride are located perpendicular above and below the P2C2 plane. With an Ir—CCDP distance of 2.157 (5) Å, an Ir—CO distance of 1.891 (6) Å and a quite short C—O distance of 1.117 (7) Å, complex 1 presents a strong carbonyl bond. Complex 2, the corresponding CH acid of 1, shows an additionally attached proton at the carbodiphosphorane carbon atom located antiperiplanar to the hydride of the metal centre. In comparison with complex 1, the Ir—CCDP distance of 2.207 (3) Å is lengthened and the Ir—C—O values indicate a weaker trans influence of the central carbodiphosphorane carbon atom.
