Iridium(V) fluoride, IrF₅, is a chemical compound of iridium and fluorine, first described by Neil Bartlett in 1965. [cite journal |journal=Chem. Commun. |year=1965 |pages=252-253 |doi=10.1039/C19650000252 |title=Iridium pentafluoride |author=Neil Bartlett and P. R. Rao] A highly reactive yellow low melting solid, it has a tetrameric structure, Ir₄F₂₀, which contains octahedrally coordinated iridium atoms.Egon Wiberg, Arnold Frederick Holleman (2001) "Inorganic Chemistry", Elsevier ISBN 0123526515] This structure is shared with RuF₅ and OsF₅. It can be prepared by the controlled decomposition of IrF₆or the reduction of IrF₆ with silicon powder or H₂ in anhydrous HF.
