Oxidation induces oxygenation : The first Ir II –ethene complex ever ( 2 ) was obtained by one‐electron oxidation of the corresponding Ir I –ethene complex 1 . Whereas 1 reacts with dioxygen to give an Ir III –peroxo‐ethene complex, the Ir II –ethene complex 2 activates dioxygen towards CO bond formation and gives the Ir III –formylmethyl complex 3 .
