Bis[3,5-difluoro-2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl](4,4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine)iridium(III) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

The title cyclometalated distorted octahedral iridium complex, [Ir(C11H6F2N)2(C12H12N2O2)]PF6, exhibits elongated Ir—N bonds to the dimethoxy bipyridine ligand [2.128 (3) and 2.136 (3) Å] where these nitrogen atoms are trans to the Ir—C bonds of the two cyclometalating difluorophenylpyridine ligands. The angles between the mean planes of the phenyl and pyridyl fragments within the individual ligands range from 3.5 (2) to 11.4 (2)° to deviate slightly from coplanarity.
