Bis[-2-(aminosulfanyl)pyridine(1-)]bis[(⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III)] diiodide

Y. Sekioka and T. Suzuki

Abstract: In the title dinuclear iridium(III) complex, [Ir₂(C₁₀H₁₅)₂(C₅H₅N₂S)₂]I₂, the iridium(III) atoms are bridged by 2-(aminosulfanyl)pyridine(1-) [(2-py)SNH] ligands in a -(2-py)SNH-²N(py),N(NH):N(NH) mode. The dinuclear complex cation lies on a crystallographic inversion center, resulting in a planar Ir₂N₂ ring with an Ir-N(py) bond length of 2.085 (9) Å and bridging Ir-N(NH) bonds of 2.110 (9) and 2.113 (9) Å. The two (2-py)S units have mutually anti configurations with respect to the Ir₂N₂ ring
