Unexpectedly stable, 2 is the first mononuclear Ir II complex whose ligands are bound exclusively through C atoms. Complex 2 , prepared by oxidation of 1 with I 2 or Ag + , is close to square planar. The phenyl rings are almost perpendicular to the metal's coordination plane; the ortho Cl atoms are quite close to the Ir metal center, which could explain the remarkable stability of 2 . cod = 1,5‐cyclooctadiene.
