The Natural Product Lepidiline A as an <i>N</i>-Heterocyclic Carbene Ligand Precursor in Complexes of the Type [Ir(cod)(NHC)PPh<sub>3</sub>)]X: Synthesis, Characterisation, and Application in Hydrogen Isotope Exchange Catalysis

A range of iridium(I) complexes of the type [Ir(cod)(NHC)PPh<sub>3</sub>)]X are reported, where the <i>N</i>-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) is derived from the naturally-occurring imidaozlium salt, Lepidiline A (1,3-dibenzyl-4,5-dimethylimidazolium chloride). A range of complexes...
