Crystal structure of {(E)-2-[(phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]phenolato-κ(2) N,O}bis-[2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ(2) C (1),N]iridium(III) di-chloro-methane monosolvate.
In the title compound, [Ir(C11H8N)2(C13H10NO)]·CH2Cl2, the Ir(III) ion is six-coordinated by two C,N-bidentate 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl ligands and one N,O-bidentate 2-[(phenyl-imino)-meth-yl]phenolate anion, giving rise to a distorted octa-hedral 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 intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bond, as well as inter-molecular C-H⋯π inter-actions and π-π inter-actions, contribute to the stabilization of the mol-ecular and crystal structure.
