Abstract :
In the title compound, [Ir(C11H8N)2(C18H14N)], the IrIII ion adopts a distorted octahedral coordination environment defined by three C,N-chelating ligands, one stemming from a 2-(4-phenyl-5-methylpyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligand and two from 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligands, arranged in a facial manner. The IrIII ion lies almost in the equatorial plane [deviation = 0.0069 (15) Å]. In the crystal, intermolecular π–π stacking interactions, as well as intermolecular C—H⋯π interactions, are present, leading to a three-dimensional network.
