The title structure,[IrCl(C(8)H(12))(C(14)H(10)F(5)P)], reveals that (C(2)F(5))PPh(2) (penta-fluoro-ethyl-diphenyl-phosphane or pfepp) disrupts the iridium dimer [(cod)IrCl](2) (cod = cyclo-octa-1,5-diene) by rupturing the bridging chloride ligands and binding in the open coordination site to form (cod)Ir(pfepp)Cl with the Ir(I) atom in a distorted square-planar coordination environment. The structure deviates very little from the Ir(I)-triphenyl-phosphine analog, although a significantly (∼20σ) ...[more]
