The compound is prepared by heating an alcohol solution of sodium hexachloroiridate with cyclooctene in ethanol.[1] The coe ligands are easily displaced by other more basic ligands, more so than the diene ligands in the related complex cyclooctadiene iridium chloride dimer. For example, with triphenylphosphine (PPh3), it reacts to give IrCl(PPh3)3:[2]

Ir2Cl2(C8H14)4 + 6 PPh3 → 2 IrCl(PPh3)3 + 4 C8H14
