The degradation pathways of highly active [Cp*Ir(κ2 -N,N-R-pica)Cl] catalysts (pica=picolinamidate; 1 R=H, 2 R=Me) for formic acid (FA) dehydrogenation were investigated by NMR spectroscopy and DFT calculations. Under acidic conditions (1 equiv. of HNO3 ), 2 undergoes partial protonation of the amide moiety, inducing rapid κ2 -N,N to κ2 -N,O ligand isomerization. Consistently, DFT modeling on the simpler complex 1 showed that the κ2 -N,N key intermediate of FA dehydrogenation (INH ), bearing a N-protonated pica, can easily
