Methyl tert-butyl ether is found to undergo C-O bond cleavage in the formation of an iridium(III) methallyl at a cationic bis(phosphine) iridium complex. An exploration of this transformation has revealed a cyclometalated complex which was previously postulated to form reversibly in the first example of alkane dehydrogenation by a homogeneous transition-metal complex. The competence of this cyclometalated species in alkane dehydrogenation is demonstrated in a stoichiometric example, giving an isolable olefin dihydride. Detection and assignment of this elusive species confirms a previous hypothesis that reversible intramolecular phosphine cyclometalation can precede intermolecular alkane dehydrogenation.

Reaction of [Ir(cod)(py)2][PF6] with PPh3 or P(C6H4-4-F)3 gives the bis(phosphine) derivative [Ir(cod)L2][PF6], but with the poorly basic phosphine P(C6Hsu
