✦ Synopsis
The title solvated salt, [Ir(H)~2~{P(C~6~H~11~)~3~}~2~{OC(CH~3~)~2~}~2~]BF~4~·(CH~3~)~2~CO, was obtained by the protonation of [Ir(H)~5~{P(C~6~H~11~)~3~}~2~] with HBF~4~ in acetone. The cation features OC-6-13 stereochemistry, with Ir—P = 2.3159 (6) and 2.3267 (6) Å, and Ir—O = 2.238 (1) and 2.276 (1) Å. The BF~4~
^−^ anion shows threefold rotational disorder about a B—F bond, with site occupancies of 0.65, 0.25 and 0.10. While there are several intramolecular C—H...O and intermolecular C—H...F hydrogen-bonding interactions [C...O = 3.207 (3)–3.358 (3) Å, and C...F = 3.434 (3) and 3.441 (3) Å], the O atom of the acetone solvent molecule does not act as a C—H acceptor.
