Expect the unexpected : The reactions of a series of imidazolium pyridinium salts with [{IrCp*Cl 2 } 2 ] and [{RhCp*Cl 2 } 2 ] afford a series of complexes. Together with the expected bis(NHC) complexes, some species resulting from CC coupling between the pyridylidene and Cp* ligands were observed (see figure; Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl).
