The present invention is directed to a catalyst composition, comprising: (1) a catalyst precursor having the general structure MSX
n
wherein M is a transition metal selected from the group consisting of iridium, molybdenum, and tungsten; S is a coordinating ligand; X is a counterion; and n is an integer from 0 to 5; and (2) a phosphoramidite ligand having the structure wherein O—C
n
—O is an aliphatic or aromatic diolate and wherein R
