(4-Benzyl-1-methyl-1,2,4-triazol-5-yl­idene)[(1,2,5,6-η)-cyclo­octa-1,5-diene](tri­phenyl­phosphane-κP)iridium(I) tetra­fluorido­borate

ABSTRACT: The cationic complex in the title salt, [Ir(C8H12)(C18H15P)(C10H11N3)]BF4, exhibits a distorted square-planar geometry around the IrI ion. A new triazole-based N-heterocyclic carbene iridium(I) cationic complex with a tetra­fluorido­borate counter-anion, [Ir(C10H11N3)(C8H12)(C18H15P)]BF4, has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The cationic complex exhibits a distorted square-planar environment around the IrI ion. One significant non-standard hydrogen-bonding inter­action exists between a hydrogen atom on the N-heterocyclic carbene ligand and a fluorine atom from the counter-ion, BF4−. In the crystal, π–π stacking inter­actions are observed between one of the phenyl rings and the triazole ring. Both inter­molecular and intra­molecular C—H⋯π(ring) inter­actions are also observe
