Abstract

Iridium complexes having a pincer-type gallylene ligand were successfully synthesized utilizing bis(phosphino)terpyridine as an efficient scaffold for the Ir-Ga^I bond. The stabilization of the gallylene moiety by the pincer-type structure enabled various reactions at Ir with keeping the gallylene ligand intact, leading to unique structures and reactivities of PGa^I P-Ir complexes.

Keywords: gallium; gallylene; iridium; pincer ligands.
