Synthesis of Rhodium and Iridium Complexes Supported by Bis(indolylphosphino)silyl Pincer Ligation: Competitive N–H and C–H Bond Activation by an Ir(I) Species

The synthesis of five-coordinate amido hydride PSiP pincer complexes of both RhIII and IrIII was pursued. The preparation of such complexes by a salt metathesis route was initially targeted to asse...
