The reaction of hydrated iridium chloride with formic acid in refluxing ethoxyethanol afforded by an efficient way the known iridium carbonyl chlorido complex cis ‐[IrCl 2 (CO) 2 ] – . The latter species was isolated and characterized as its corresponding PPN salt (PPN + = bis(triphenylphosphane)iminium cation). The molecular structure of PPN[IrCl 2 (CO) 2 ] ( 1 ) was confirmed by X‐ray diffraction.
