Three novel pendant acetate complexes, [Rh(bdmpza)Cl3] -M+, [Rh(bdmpza)Cl2(py)], and [Ir(bdmpza)Cl3]-M+ (bdmpza = bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl) acetate, M+ = Li+, Na +), were synthesized. Abstraction of halide from these complexes with silver salts yielded species capable of C-H activation of arenes. The catalytic H/D exchange reaction between benzene and trifluoroacetic acid-d was optimized, and these conditions were used to evaluate H/D exchange in other arenes. Branched alkyl substituents in alkyl aromatics showed an affinity toward deuterium exchange in the β-alkyl position only. DFT calculations were performed to determine the mechanism of H/D exchange.
