(1,2-Dicyanoethylenedithiolato-κ²S,S′)(η⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III)

Abstract

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Ir(C10H15)(C4N2S2)], is composed of distinct [η5-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 IrIII atom may be considered penta­coordinate since it is linked to a bidentate dithiol­ate ligand and a formally tridentate η5-Cp* ligand. Ir—S distances range from 2.238 (3) to 2.246 (3) Å.
