A unique class of enantiopure N-heterocyclic carbene half-sandwich iridium complexes is reported. These compounds display stable configurations at the metal center, as demonstrated by their chiroptical properties. Remarkably, because of the nature of the naphthalimide molecule, two regioisomers containing five-membered [( R)-2a and ( S)-2a] and six-membered [( R)-2b and ( S)-2b] iridacycles were obtained. Density functional theory calculations are advanced to rationalize their relative stability.
