Abstract

In the title complex [Ir(C 8 H 12 )(C 7 H 12 N 2 ) 2 ]BF 4 , the central Ir I atom of the cationic complex has a distorted square-planar coordination environment, formed by a bidentate cycloocta-1,5-diene (COD) ligand, and two N-heterocyclic carbene ligands. Non-classical hydrogen-bonding interactions between the [BF 4 ] − anion and the N-heterocyclic carbenes on three distinct cationic iridium(I) complexes serve to establish the orientation of the [BF 4 ] − anion in the extended structure.
