Aquadichloro(η⁵-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)iridium(III)

Abstract

Each IrIII ion in the title compound, [Ir(C10H15)Cl2(H2O)], is six-coordinated by two chloride ions, one water mol­ecule and a penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl (Cp*) ligand in a three-legged piano-stool geometry, assuming that the Cp* ligand functions as a tridentate ligand. There is hydrogen bonding between the water H atoms and the Cl atoms of adjacent mol­ecules.
