The iridium(III) dimethyl derivatives [Ir(Me)2Cp*L] (Cp=η5-C5Me5; L=PMe3 1a, PPh3 1d) catalyze the dehydrogenative coupling of dimethylphenylsilane in the presence of one-electron oxidants to yield Me2PhSiSiPhMe2. Compounds 1a-d react with triphenylsilane in the presence of [FeCp2]PF6 to give methane and [Ir(Ph)(SiFPh2)Cp*L] (L=PMe3 (2a), PMe2Ph (2b), PMePh2 (2c), PPh3 (2d)). 2a was structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments. The `three-legged piano stool' coordination polyhedron is slightly deformed.
