Their solid-state structures confirmed the bidentate coordination mode of these LX-type NHC ligands. These unprecedented iridium(i) complexes demonstrated efficient catalytic activities in dehydrogenative directed C-H silylation of arenes, and allowed for excellent ortho-selectivity control with aromatic silylating agents.Chemical EngineeringArticleSCOPUS10.1039/d2cc06865f2-s2.0-851521739151364548X36942515
