Abstract

The mechanism responsible for C−H activation in Ir(acac)_2(OCH_3)(C_6H_6) has been identified and described as an internal electrophilic substitution (IES) mechanism, on the basis of orbital changes and predicted reactivity. In this IES mechanism, the lone pair on a M−X ligand forms an X−H bond, while the orbital making up the M−X bond turns into a coordinating lone pair.
