[(η5-pentamethylcyclopentadienyl)(3-fluoro-N-methylbenzylamine-к1,N)dichlorido]iridium(III)

A half-sandwich iridium(III) complex containing 3-fluoro-N-methylbenzylamine ligands has been obtained by reaction of one equivalent of [(η5-Cp*)IrCl2]2 (Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl) with two equivalent of 3-fluoro-N-methylbenzylamine in very good yield. The structure of this complex was confirmed by X-ray crystallography, 1H-NMR, 13C-NMR spectroscopy, and elemental analysis.
