The 9-methyl-adenine ligand is coordinated in a monodentate fashion to the Ir centre through its N-7 atom. The crystal structure contains centrosymmetric pairs of mol-ecules, inter-acting through two N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. An intra-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond is formed between the H atom of an NH(2) group and a chlorido ligand. Further short intra- and inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl contacts are observed.Acta crystallographica.
