The Iridium chloride(IrCl₃), hydrate (8CI,9CI), with the CAS registry number 14996-61-3, is also known as Iridiumtrichloride hydrate. It belongs to the product categories of Indoles; Classes of Metal Compounds; Ir (Iridium) Compounds and Transition Metal Compounds. Its EINECS registry number is 233-044-6. This chemical's molecular formula is Cl₃IrH₂O and molecular weight is 316.59. What's more, its systematic name is Iridium(3+) chloride hydrate (1:3:1). This material is relatively rare, but the related hydrate is useful for preparing other iridium compounds. The anhydrous salt is a dark green crystalline solid. It is separated from the other platinum group metals as crystalline ammonium hexachloroiridate(IV), (NH₄)₂[IrCl₆], which can be reduced to iridium metal in a stream of hydrogen. The spongy Ir thus produced reacts with chlorine at 300-400 °C to produce iridium(III) chloride. Iridium chloride(IrCl₃), hydrate (8CI,9CI) is used in the laboratory for the preparation of other iridium compounds such as Vaska's complex.

Physical properties about Iridium chloride(IrCl₃), hydrate (8CI,9CI) are: (1) #H bond acceptors: 1; (2) #H bond donors: 2; (3) #Freely Rotating Bonds: 0; (4) Density: 5.3 g/cm³; (5) Melting point: 763 °C.
