Aquadichloro(⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III)

L. Ma, W.-J. Zhao and K. Lu

Abstract: Each Ir^III ion in the title compound, [Ir(C₁₀H₁₅)Cl₂(H₂O)], is six-coordinated by two chloride ions, one water molecule and a pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*) ligand in a three-legged piano-stool geometry, assuming that the Cp* ligand functions as a tridentate ligand. There is hydrogen bonding between the water H atoms and the Cl atoms of adjacent molecules.
