To assess the thermal stability and catalytic efficiency of a novel iridium P–C–P pincer complex for alkane transfer dehydrogenation.
Synthesized and characterized the dihydrido iridium complex [IrH2{C6H3(CH2PBut2)2}] featuring a stabilizing P–C–P pincer ligand.
Evaluated catalytic transfer dehydrogenation of cyclooctane to cyclooctene under high-temperature conditions at 200 °C.
Demonstrated long-term thermal stability of the catalyst at 200 °C.
Achieved a transfer dehydrogenation rate of 12 turnovers per minute for the conversion of cyclooctane to cyclooctene.

Implication

Laboratory investigation demonstrates rapid cyclooctane transfer dehydrogenation via an iridium pincer complex at 200 °C, indicating high thermal stability for alkane activation.

Abstract
