The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Ir(C9H7)(C2H4)2], consists of two independent mol-ecules. The bonding between iridium and the five-membered ring of the indenyl ligand shows the usual asymmetry associated with the typical ring slippage responsible for the enhanced activity of indenyl metal compounds when compared with the analogous cyclo-penta-dienyl metal compound. There are three short Ir-C bonds of 2.210 (3), 2.190 (4) and 2.220 (3) Å and two long Ir-C bonds to the C atoms that are ...[more]
