Crystal structure of di-μ-chlorido-bis[dichloridobis(methanol-κO)iridium(III)] dihydrate: a surprisingly simple chloridoiridium(III) dinuclear complex with methanol ligands

The reaction between IrCl3·xH2O in methanol led to the formation of small amounts of the title compound, [Ir2Cl6(CH3OH)4]·2H2O, which consists of two IrCl4O2 octahedra sharing an edge via chloride bridges. The molecule lies across an inversion center. Each octahedron can be envisioned as being compr...
