A new type of chiral phosphine–quinoline ligand bearing a spiro[4,4]-1,6-nonadiene scaffold was designed and synthesized. Its cationic iridium complex has been characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and evaluated in the catalytic asymmetric hydrogenation of alkene and imine derivatives, giving the corresponding hydrogenation products with high activity albeit moderate enantioselecitivity.
