An experiment has been performed to study excited states in the neutron-deficient nucleus
Ir via the use of the JUROGAM II high-purity germanium detector array and the RITU gas-filled separator at JYFL, Jyv
skyl
. By using isomer tagging, an isomeric state with a half-life of 6.58(15)
s has been observed in
Ir for the first time. It has been established that the isomer decays via a 45.2 (
) - 26.1 (
) keV cascade to new states below the previously reported ground state in
Ir with
. We now reassign this
state to the isomeric state discovered in this study.
