This led to the hypothesis that a complex with intermediate properties would be catalytically more active than either of these two species. Accordingly, “hybrid” phosphine–phosphinite pincer ligands (PCOP) and the corresponding iridium complexes were synthesized (3c–e). In tandem with olefin-metathesis catalyst MoF12, (tBu4PCOP)IrH2 displays significantly higher activity for the metathesis of n-hexane than does (tBu4PCP)IrH2 or (tBu4POCOP)IrH2. (tBu2PCOPiPr2)IrH4 (3d) is even more active (&amp;gt;30-fold more active than (tBu4POCOP)IrH2) and affords nearly 4.6 M alkane products after 8 h at 125 °C.&lt;/p&gt;</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">11</style></issue><custom2><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">&lt;p&gt;Council of Scientific &amp;amp; Industrial Research (CSIR) - India&lt;/p&gt;</style></custom2><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">7.572
