title: Alkane C-H activation and catalysis by an O-donor ligated iridium complex.
abstract: The first examples of well-defined, O-donor ligated, late-metal complexes that are competent for alkane C-H activation are reported. These complexes exhibit thermal and protic stability and are efficient catalysts for H/D exchange reactions with alkanes.
