(Methylcyclopentadienyl)(1,5-cyclooctadiene)iridium(I) (Cat No.: M110298), often abbreviated as [Ir(cod)(MeCp)], is a versatile organoiridium complex widely used in homogeneous catalysis. It features a methyl-substituted cyclopentadienyl ligand and a 1,5-cyclooctadiene (cod) ligand coordinated to an iridium(I) center. This compound serves as a key precursor for generating active Ir-based catalysts in applications such as C–H activation, hydrogenation, and borylation. Its well-defined geometry and reactivity make it valuable in organometallic chemistry, especially for forming iridium complexes with tailored electronic and steric properties.
