In this distorted octahedral iridium complex, the three PMe3 ligands are arranged in a meridional geometry, with the chloride ion cis to all three PMe3 groups and the phenyl isothiocyanate ligand bonded in an η2-fashion through the C and S atoms. The geometric parameters for the metal-complexed PhNCS group are compared with other metal-complexed phenyl isothiocyanates, as well as with examples of uncomplexed aryl isothiocyanates.
