title: Chlorido[1-(2-oxidophen-yl)ethyl-idene][tris-(3,5-dimethyl-pyrazol-1-yl)hydro-borato]iridium(III) chloro-form monosolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [Ir(C15H22BN6)(C8H7O)Cl]·CHCl3, the Ir atom is formally trivalent and is coordinated in a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry by three facial N atoms, one C atom, one O atom and one Cl atom. The Ir=Ccarbene bond is strong and short and exerts a notable effect on the trans-Ir-N bond, which is about 0.10 Å longer than the two other Ir-N bonds. The chloro-form solvent mol-ecule is anchored via a weak C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bond to the Cl atom of the Ir complex mol-ecule. In the crystal, the constituents adopt a layer-like arrangement parallel to (010) and are held together by weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, as well as weak Cl⋯Cl [3.498 (2) Å] and Cl⋯π [3.360 (4) Å] inter-actions. A weak intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond is also observed.
