The synthesis and structural analyses of pincer-type iridium complexes having gallyl- and indyl-metalloligands were achieved utilizing 2,5-bis(6-phosphino-2-pyridyl)pyrrolide as a new scaffold for metal–metal bonds. A BH₃-coordinated PInP-Ir dihydride complex was also developed as an equivalent to an iridium dihydride complex, which could be a useful catalyst for synthetic reactions.
