Iridium disulfide is the binary inorganic compound with the formula IrS₂. Prepared by the direct reaction of the elements, the compound adopts the pyrite crystal structure at high pressure.^[1] At normal atmospheric pressures, an orthorhombic polymorph is observed.^[2]. The high- and low-pressure forms both feature octahedral Ir centers, but the S–S distances are pressure dependent.^[3] Although not practical, IrS₂ is a highly active catalyst for hydrodesulfurization.^[4]
