A practical strategy for the generation of virtually enantiomerically pure bis-cyclometalated iridium(III) complexes is reported. Accordingly, the reactions of [Ir(-Cl)(ppy)(2)](2) (ppy = cyclometalating 2-phenylpyridine) with (S)-4-tert-butyl-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-2-oxazoline [(S)-1a], [Ir(-Cl)(pq)(2)](2) (pq = cyclometalating 2-phenylquinoline) with (S)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-isopropyl-2-oxazoline [(S)-1b], and [Ir(-Cl)(pbt)(2)](2) (pbt = cyclometalating 2-phenylbenzothiazole) with (S)-2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-isopropyl-2-thiazoline [(S)-1d] afforded diastereomeric mixtures of salicyloxazolinato or salicylthiazolinato complexes /-[Ir(ppy)(2){(S)-1a-H}]PF6, /-[Ir(pq)(2){(S)-1b-H}]PF6, and /-[Ir(pbt)(2){(S)-1d-H}]PF6, respectively, which could be resolved by silica gel flash chromatography. With the individual diastereomers in hand, an acid-induced substitution of the chiral auxiliaries by achiral bidentate ligands with retention of configuration afforded several iridium complexes - or -[Ir((CN)-N-perpendicular to)(2)((NN)-N-perpendicular to)]PF6 ((CN)-N-perpendicular to = cyclometalating ppy, pq, or pbt; (NN)-N-perpendicular to = 2,2-bipyridine, 1,10-phenanthroline, or 2,2-biquinoline) with enantiomeric ratio (er) values of 24:1 to 230:1.
