Iridium(I) complexes 1 , containing bidentate phosphines, and 3 , with arsine ligands, are generated in situ. These species mediate hydrogen isotope exchange in a variety of aromatic substrates including benzyl ketones. Although the catalytic activities of complexes 1 and 3 are generally unexceptional, a logical step leads to the use of [ethylene‐1,2‐ bis (diphenylarsine)](cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) tetrafluoroborate ( 5 ), which is an efficient catalyst for both aryl and benzyl ketones, and mediates exchange to a substantial extent in other substrates also.
