title: Unsaturated iridium pyridinedicarboxylate pincer complexes with catalytic activity in borylation of arenes.
abstract: Unsaturated σ,π-cyclooctenyl and hydrido Ir(III) complexes bearing an unusual tridentate dianionic ONO pincer-type ligand have been straightforwardly obtained from 2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid and standard Ir(I) starting materials. These complexes efficiently catalyzed the arene C-H borylation under thermal conditions.
