Carbonylchlorobis(triphenylphosphine)iridium(I)（Cat No.:M054675）, with the formula IrCl(CO)(PPh₃)₂, is a square planar organometallic complex featuring iridium in the +1 oxidation state coordinated to one carbonyl ligand, one chloride ion, and two triphenylphosphine ligands. This compound is widely used as a homogeneous catalyst or catalyst precursor in various organic transformations, including hydrogenation, carbonylation, and hydroformylation reactions. Its stability and reactivity stem from the strong π-acceptor properties of the CO and phosphine ligands. It is also studied in organometallic chemistry for mechanistic insights and is sensitive to air and moisture, requiring inert atmosphere handling.
