M. Scharwitz, T. van Almsick and W. S. Sheldrick

Abstract: The title compound, [Ir(⁵-C₅Me₅)(dien-³N)](CF₃SO₃)₂ (dien is diethylenetriamine) or [Ir(C₁₀H₁₅)(C₄H₁₃N₃)](CF₃SO₃)₂, contains a half-sandwich (⁵-C₅Me₅)Ir^III fragment coordinated in a facial manner by the N atoms of a dien ligand. N-HO hydrogen bonds to the trifluoromethanesulfonate counter-anions link the organometallic cations into a chiral polymeric network.
