Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir₂(OCH₃)₂(C₈H₁₂)₂, where C₈H₁₂ is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The complex is used as a precursor to other iridium complexes, some of which are used in homogeneous catalysis.^[1]

The compound is prepared by treating cyclooctadiene iridium chloride dimer with sodium methoxide.^[2] In terms of its molecular structure, the iridium centers are square planar as is typical for a d⁸ complex. The Ir₂O₂ core is folded.^[3]
