Cyclometalation of a triple helical N-doped phenylene cage prepared by ruthenium(0)-catalyzed diol-diene benzannulation delivers a chiral, conformationally constrained Ir(ppy) analogue. Like the parent complex, fac-Ir(ppy) , the iridium-containing PAH-cage is phosphorescent, but displays enhanced resistance to oxygen quenching.
