A unique six-membered chelated iridium complex.
The reaction of 2-(3-methylbiphenyl-2-yl)pyridine with IrCl(3).nH(2)O in the presence of water incorporates a tightly bonded CO at the iridium center; in the subsequent reaction with picolinic acid a complex revealing an unusual CH activation of a methyl group is formed.
