【 摘 要 】

A reaction between [(COD)IrCl]2 (COD is cyclo­octa-1,5-diene), HCl and indene failed to provide the hoped for chlorido­indenyliridium dimer, but instead produced the title compound, [IrCl3(CH3CN)(C8H12)], which is an octa­hedral complex of iridium(III) with a chelating cyclo­octa-1,5-diene ligand, three chloride ligands in a fac arrangement, and one aceto­nitrile ligand. Attempts to devise a rational synthesis for the title compound were unsuccessful.
