Iridium(III) complexes play a prominent role in organometallic chemistry, with significant research efforts directed toward Cp*Ir(III) species, broadly categorized into cyclic and acyclic types. Although studies on these two classes began roughly simultaneously, the development of has lagged significantly behind their counterparts. Herein, we report general efficient strategy for synthesizing various persistent aryl Cp*Ir(III)(CO)Cl directly from aldehydes, situ generated CO as stabilizing ligand. These showcase exceptional reactivity, undergoing reactions up to eight nucleophiles generate diverse diorganoiridium(III) species remarkable stability. Electrochemical analysis provides insights reductive elimination processes. Guided by findings, Cp*Ir(III)-mediated decarbonylative C-C C-O cross-couplings aldehydes are successfully developed. This study establishes robust platform exploration complexes, paving way further advancements iridium(III) chemistry.
