==Reactions and uses==
Industrially, most iridium complexes are generated from ] or the related chloroiridic acid (H<sub>2</sub>IrCl<sub>6</sub>). The ], source of most of the world's ] relies on such catalysts.

Hydrated iridium(III) chloride is used in the for the preparation of other iridium complexes such as ], ''trans''-.<ref>Vaska, L.; & DiLuzio, J. W. (1961) ''J. Am. Chem. Soc.'' 83:2784.

The trihydrate react with ] to form ]es, such as pentaamminechloroiridium(III) chloride, formulated Cl<sub>2</sub>.

===Decomposition===
The trihydrate decomposes to the anhydrous form at 200 °C, which then oxidizes in air at 763 °C to ], which then decomposes to iridium metal at 1070 °C. However, under ], it is directly reduced at 190 °C to iridium metal:<ref name="therm">{{cite journal |author1=A.E. Newkirk |author2=D.W.
