Dichlorido(9-methyladenine-N⁷)(⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III) dichloromethane solvate

C. Bruhn, T. Küger and D. Steinborn

Abstract: In the title complex, [Ir(C₁₀H₁₅)Cl₂(C₆H₇N₅)]·CH₂Cl₂ or [Ir(⁵-C₅Me₅)Cl₂(9-MeAde-N⁷)]·CH₂Cl₂ (9-MeAde = 9-methyladenine), the coordination geometry of the Ir^III atom approximates to a three-legged piano stool. The 9-methyladenine ligand is coordinated in a monodentate fashion to the Ir centre through its N-7 atom. The crystal structure contains centrosymmetric pairs of molecules, interacting through two N-HN hydrogen bonds. An intramolecular N-HCl hydrogen bond is formed between the H atom of an NH₂ group and a chlorido ligand. Further short intra- and intermolecular C-HCl contacts are observed.
