Here, we report Rh and Ir complexes containing a triaryl SBS pincer ligand flanked by neutral thiomethyl donor groups. Oxidative addition of the B–H bond in the diazaborole proligand H(MeSBSMe) to [Ir(COD)Cl]2or [Rh(COE)Cl]2yielded the chloride-bridged dimers [(MeSBSMe)MH(μ-Cl)]2, where M = Ir (1) or Rh (2). Addition of CO to1and2yielded unstable products that were difficult to isolate, but crystals of monomeric (MeSBSMe)IrH(CO)Cl (3) recovered from the reactions with1revealed a change in theMeSBSMecoordination mode frommertofac. Treating1and2with LiN(SiMe3)2yieldedmer-(MeSBSMe)IrH[N(SiMe3)2] (4) and the unusual RhI–RhIIIdimer (MeSBSMe)Rh(μ-H)[(MeS(μ-B)(μ-SMe)]Rh[N(SiMe3)2] (5) with bothmerandfacMeSBSMe.4and5did not exhibit any alkane transfer hydrogenation reactivity when tested withtert-butylethylene and cyclooctane, but they are highly active for alkene isomerization with 1-hexene. Optimized isomerization reactions showed the highest turnover number (TON) with4at 60 °C after 16 h (TON = 10 000), and both catalysts are effective even when tested at room temperature with similar loadings (TON = 600). Collectively, these data highlight the reactivity and inherent coordinative flexibility of theMeSBSMeligand for comparison to more well-established PBP complexes.
