An iridium methyl complex, [Cp*Ir(bpy)(CH3)]+, was prepared by electrophilic methylation of Cp*Ir(bpy) with CH3I and characterized electrochemically, photophysically, crystallographically, and computationally. Irradiation of the MLCT transition of [Cp*Ir(bpy)(CH3)]+ in the presence of CH3I in acetonitrile produces ethane, methane, propionitrile, and succinonitrile. A series of mechanistic studies indicates
