title: trans-(2-Benzoyl-pyridine-κN,O)dichlorido[2-(2-pyridylcarbon-yl)phenyl-κC,N]iridium(III) dichloro-methane solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Ir(C(12)H(8)NO)Cl(2)(C(12)H(9)NO)]·CH(2)Cl(2), which was obtained from the reaction of iridium(III) chloride trihydrate and 2-benzoyl-pyridine, contains an Ir(III) atom coordinated by two N, one O, one C and two Cl atoms in trans positions, forming a distorted octa-hedral environment. The solvent molecule CH(2)Cl(2) is disordered over two positions with an occupancy of 0.8:0.2.
