The title complex, [IrCl(C<sub>8</sub>H<sub>12</sub>)<sub>2</sub>], was synthesized directly from the reaction of IrCl<sub>3</sub>·3H<sub>2</sub>O with a large excess of cod (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) in alcoholic solvent. Large yellow needles were obtained by the slow cooling of a hot solution. Based on the positions of the chloride ligand and the mid-points of the four C=C bonds, the mol-ecule adopts a five-coordinate geometry that is midway between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. ...[more]
