K2IrH2OCl5 crystallizes in the orthorhombic Pnma space group. K(1) is bonded in a 8-coordinate geometry to two equivalent Cl(1), two equivalent Cl(2), two equivalent Cl(3), and two equivalent Cl(4) atoms. Ir(1) is bonded in an octahedral geometry to one O(1), one Cl(1), one Cl(3), one Cl(4), and two equivalent Cl(2) atoms. H(1) is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one O(1) atom. O(1) is bonded in a distorted water-like geometry to one Ir(1) and two equivalent H(1) atoms. There are four inequivalent Cl sites. In the first Cl site, Cl(4) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of edge, corner, and face-sharing ClK4Ir square pyramids. In the second Cl site, Cl(1) is bonded in a 5-coordinate geometry to four equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom. In the third Cl site, Cl(2) is bonded in a 1-coordinate geometry to two equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom. In the fourth Cl site, Cl(3) is bonded to four equivalent K(1) and one Ir(1) atom to form a mixture of distorted edge, corner, and face-sharing ClK4Ir square pyramids.
