Crabtree's catalyst revisited; ligand effects on stability and durability.

Xu Y, Mingos DMP, Brown JM

The extent of time-dependent deactivation of monophosphine monoamine iridium hydrogenation catalysts by trimer formation is strongly dependent on ligand structure; attempts to counter this process lead to the observation of an oligomerisation resistant catalyst.
