Herein, an indazolyl-pyridinyl-triazole ligand was synthesized and its iridium complex supported on hydrotalcite was developed.

Copper-catalyzed thiophenol C-H activation is described. Through an initial attempt to conduct C-arylation with arylboronic acid, a rather surprising sequential C-H activation and S-arylation was discovered. Mechanistic investigation revealed the disulfide intermediate as the key component in directing C-H oxidation. The overall reaction proceeded under mild conditions with molecular oxygen as the oxidant. Discovery of disulfide as the directing group provides a potential new direction for catalytic C-H functionalization under mild conditions.

The unsymmetrical diphenylphosphino-pyridinyl-triazole ligand was synthesized and characterized through IR, NMR and MS and the corresponding earth-abundant metal complex (cobalt) was prepared. Considering energy consumption and environmental friendliness, it is...
