Iridium trichloride (Cat No.:M122358) is an inorganic compound commonly encountered as a dark brown or black crystalline solid. It serves as a key starting material in the preparation of various iridium complexes used in catalysis, materials science, and organometallic chemistry. Iridium trichloride is often used in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalytic systems, including hydrogenation, oxidation, and C–C coupling reactions. It is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves in concentrated hydrochloric acid and other coordinating solvents. Due to iridium’s rarity and high oxidation states, it is handled with care in research and industrial applications.
