title: A bimetallic iridium(ii) catalyst: [{Ir(IDipp)(H)}2][BF4]2 (IDipp = 1,3-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimidazol-2-ylidene)).
abstract: A new Ir(ii) complex [{Ir(μ-κCNHC,η(6)Dipp-IDipp)(H)}2][BF4]2 has been prepared and fully characterised. This complex acts as a catalyst for the hydroalkynylation of imines according to an unprecedented diiridium-mediated mechanism.
