 All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes)
 are estimated using the full covariance matrix.  The cell esds are taken
 into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles
 and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only
 used when they are defined by crystal symmetry.  An approximate (isotropic)
 treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

_publ_section_synopsis
;
A direct synthesis of monomeric IrCl(1,5-cod)₂ (1,5-cod =
cycloocta-1,5-diene) from IrCl₃\\cdot3H₂O and its crystal structure are
presented. The molecule's shape is midway between square pyramidal and
trigonal bipyramidal.
