Abstract / Description of output
An unprecedented C-H activation of 2,4,6-triphenylphosphinine by Ir(III) and Rh(III) has been observed. Time-dependent P-31{H-1} NMR spectroscopy gave insight into the cyclometalation reaction and the corresponding coordination compounds were characterized by means of X-ray crystallography. In contrast, 2,4,6-triphenylpyridine does not show any ortho-metalation, demonstrating a remarkable difference in reactivity between these two structurally related aromatic heterocycles.
