(1,2-Dicyanoethylenedithiolato-²S,S')(⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III)

C.-X. Ren and Y.-Q. Ding

Abstract: The crystal structure of the title complex, [Ir(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₄N₂S₂)], is composed of distinct [⁵-Cp*Ir(mnt)] (Cp* is pentamethylcyclopentadienyl and mnt is 1,2-dicyanoethylenedithiolate) molecules separated by normal van der Waals contacts. The asymmetric unit consists of two molecules. The Ir^III atom may be considered pentacoordinate since it is linked to a bidentate dithiolate ligand and a formally tridentate ⁵-Cp* ligand. Ir-S distances range from 2.238 (3) to 2.246 (3) Å.
