Abstract

Solvent dependent double C–H activation in an Ir(NHC)₂ system generates an agostically stabilized 14-electron complex featuring a face-capping bis(alkyl) tethered NHC ligand [NHC = N-heterocyclic carbene]. These activation processes are reversible, and the resulting ligand-derived hydrogen shuttle can be applied to the dehydrogenation of BN-containing substrates.
