(5-Methylpyrazine-2-carboxylato-κ2N1,O)bis[2-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl-κN)-3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl-κC1]iridium(III) chloroform hemisolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [Ir(C14H8F6N)2(C6H5N2O2)]·0.5CHCl3, the IrIII atom adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, being coordinated by three N atoms (arranged meridionally), two C atoms and one O atom of three bidentate ligands. The complex molecules pack with no specific intermolecular interactions between them. The SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155] was used to model a disordered chloroform solvent molecule; the calculated unit-cell data allow for the presence of half of this molecule in the asymmetric unit.
