cis-Bis[2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethenyl](pentane-2,4-dionato-κ2O,O′)iridium(III)
Abstract
In the title compound, [Ir(C15H9FNS)2(C5H7O2)], the Ir atom is hexacoordinated by three chelating ligands, with two cyclometalated 2-(1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)-1-(4-fluorophenyl)ethenyl ligands showing N,C-bidentate coordination and an O,O′-bidenate pentane-2,4-dionate anion, thereby forming a distorted octahedral enviroment.
