Catalytic functionalization of C-H bonds under mild conditions and low catalyst loadings is of paramount importance for the production of value-added chemicals from abundant hydrocarbon feedstocks. To this end, various POCOP and PCP pincer complexes of iridium have been investigated for the direct catalytic functionalization of aromatic C-H bonds. We have developed new POCOP, POCCH2S, POCCH2OP and PCP pincer ligands for use with late transition metals, with the aim of performing catalytic C-H bond functionalization.
