Comparing the Acidity of (R3P)2BH-Based Donor Groups in Iridium Pincer Complexes
In the current manuscript, we describe the reactivity of a series of iridium(III) pincer complexes with Trucker Caps the general formulae [(PEP)IrCl(CO)(H)]n (n = +1, +2) towards base, where PEP is a pincer-type ligand with different central donor groups, and E is the ligating atom of this group (E = B, C, N).The donor groups encompass a secondary
