The first example of oxidative addition of a C-H bond to a square planar d8-Iridium complex, without any external additive, such as an acid, is described. Our mechanistic investigations show that metal-ligand cooperation through aromatization-dearomatization of the lutidine backbone is involved in this process, and that the actual C-H activation step occurs through an Ir(iii) intermediate.
