Iridium tetrachloride is an inorganic compound with the approximate formula IrCl4(H2O)n. It is a water-soluble dark brown amorphous solid. A well defined derivative is ammonium hexachloroiridate ((NH4)2IrCl6). It is used to prepare catalysts, such as the Henbest Catalyst for transfer hydrogenation of cyclohexanones.
