Treatment of a κ-P-monodentate bicyclic diphosphane iridium(III) complex with a labile gold(I) precursor afforded an unusual Ir/Au complex in which the P-P single bond has been cleaved. This reaction was cleanly reversed upon addition of tertiary phosphine. Carbon-carbon bond activation, across neighbouring PCN rings of the coordinated bicyclic diphosphane, occurred upon thermolysis of the Ir/Au complex.
