Crystal structure of fac-[2-(4-methyl-5-phenyl-pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ²C¹,N]bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ²C¹,N]iridium(III).

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Ir(C₁₁H₈N)₂(C₁₈H₁₄N)], the Ir^III ion adopts a distorted octa-hedral coordination environment defined by three C,N-chelating ligands, one stemming from a 2-(4-phenyl-5-methyl-pyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligand and two from 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligands, arranged in a facial manner. The Ir^III ion lies almost in the equatorial plane [deviation = 0.0069 (15) Å]. In the crystal, inter-molecular π-π stacking inter-actions, as well as inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions, are present, leading to a three-dimensional network.
