Osmium- and Iridium-Promoted C–H Bond Activation of 2,2′-Bipyridines and Related Heterocycles: Kinetic and Thermodynamic Preferences

The d2-hexahydride complex OsH6(PiPr3)2 (1) promotes the activation of C–H bonds of 2,2′-bipyridines and related heterocycles. The study of the same reactions with the deuteride counterpart OsD6(Pi...
