Crystal structure of chlorido­(η2-phenyl iso­thio­cyanate-κ2CS)-mer-tris­(tri­methyl­phosphane-κP)iridium(I)

摘要

The molecule of the title compound, [IrCl(C7H5NS)(C3H9P)3], is a distorted octa­hedral iridium complex with three PMe3 ligands arranged in a meridional geometry, a chloride ion cis to all three PMe3 groups and the phenyl iso­thio­cyanate ligand bonded in an η²-fashion through the C and S atoms. The C atom is trans to the chloride ion and the S atom is responsible for a significant deviation from an ideal octa­hedral geometry. The geometric parameters for the metal-complexing phenyl isothiocyanate group are compared with other metal-complexed phenyl iso­thio­cyanates, as well as with examples of uncomplexed aryl iso­thio­cyanates.
