Treatment of a κ¹-P-monodentate bicyclic diphosphane iridium(iii) complex with a labile gold(i) precursor afforded an unusual Irᴵᴵᴵ/Auᴵ 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 P₂C₂N rings of the coordinated bicyclic diphosphane, occurred upon thermolysis of the Irᴵᴵᴵ/Auᴵ complex.
