Very selective and under mild conditions . These features characterize the cleavage of CH bonds in alkenes and arenes by the cationic iridium( III ) complex 1 developed recently by Arndtsen and Bergman. The extremely high reactivity of this compound is attributed to the presence of separated ion pairs, evident also in the crystal. The remarkable tolerance of 1 towards functional groups bodes well for possible applications in synthesis.
