The title complex, [Ir(2)(μ-Cl)(2)(C(8)H(14))(4)], has a dinuclear structure with bridging Cl atoms, a hinge angle of 179.44 (7)° between the two IrCl(2) planes, and an Ir⋯Ir distance of 3.7254 (3) Å. Regarding the coordinating C=C bonds as occupying a single coordination site each, the geometry around each Ir atom is square-planar.
