Abstract :
In the title compound, [Ir(C11H8N)2(C13H10NO)]·CH2Cl2, the IrIII ion is six-coordinated by two C,N-bidentate 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligands and one N,O-bidentate 2-[(phenylimino)methyl]phenolate anion, giving rise to a distorted octahedral environment. The C,N-bidentate ligands, in which the C and N atoms are statistically disordered over two sites and therefore both pairs of C and N atoms are trans and cis relative to each other, are almost perpendicular to each other [the dihedral angle between the least-square planes is 87.00 (4)°]. An intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond, as well as intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions and π–π interactions, contribute to the stabilization of the molecular and crystal structure.
