Chloro(1.5-cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) dimer|12112-67-3

Cyclooctadiene iridium chloride dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir2Cl2(C8H12)2, where C8H12 is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. It is an orange solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The complex is used as a precursor to other iridium complexes, some of which are used in homogeneous catalysis. The solid is air-stable but its solutions degrades in air.
