Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>The differences in reactivity</bold> between structurally related 2, 4, 6‐triarylphosphinines and 2, 4, 6‐triarylpyridines towards Ir^III and Pd^II have been investigated. Although phosphinines undergo facile CH activation with [Cp*IrCl₂] in the presence of NaOAc, this reaction does not proceed with the corresponding pyridine derivatives. On the other hand, pyridines can be selectively <italic>ortho</italic>‐metalated with Pd(OAc)₂, leading to acetate‐bridged dimeric species. The reaction of phosphinines with Pd(OAc)₂ led instead to the formation of unusual cofacial oxidative coupling products, which consist of a phosphorus‐containing cage structure.
