FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an iridium-platinum complex of formula (I) 
, where Cp* is selected from a group consisting of a cyclopentadienyl ligand, pentamethylcyclopentapentadienyl ligand, pentaethylcyclopentadienyl ligand and pentapropylcyclopentadienyl ligand, X is a hydrogen atom or a substitute group selected from a group consisting of a fluorine atom, a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, an iodine atom, a hydroxyl group and an organic group located in the ortho, meta or para position relative the phenyl group or a combination of these positions, and Y is selected from a group consisting of a methyl group, an ethyl group and a propyl group, wherein said organic group is selected from a group consisting of an alkyl group, alkoxy group, alkenyl group, alkenyloxy group, alkynyl group, alkynyloxy group, aryl group, aryloxy group, aralkyl group and an aralkyloxy group, which can have a heteroatom or an ether bond, which are substituted or unsubstituted and which are C1-C30 The invention also discloses a method for synthesis of the iridium-platinum complex.
EFFECT: invention enables preparation of an iridium-platinum complex capable of giving iridium-platinum clusters, having a controlled cluster size and controlled alloy composition
