Chirik's catalyst is a iron-based organometallic compound with the formula 2,6-bis(1-[2,6-diisopropylphenyl]imidazolylidene)pyridinyl bis(dinitrogen)iron(0). It is a new homogenous catalyst developed by Paul Chirik for the tritiation/deuteration of sites unreachable by current iridium catalysts such as Crabtree's catalyst. This catalyst is available commercially.
