Abstract: In the title compound, [Ir(C₁₀H₁₅)(N₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)]PF₆, the linear azide ligand adopts an end-on terminal coordination mode with a relatively long Ir-N bond of 2.230  (6)  Å. The azide is asymmetric in an unusual way: the azide N-N bond adjacent to the azide Ir-N bond [1.025  (12)  Å] is significantly shorter than the terminal azide N-N bond [1.282  (15)  Å], while the azide Ir-N-N bond angle is 116.4  (6)°.
