[2,6-Difluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl-κC4](pentane-2,4-dionato-κ2O,O′)iridium(III)

The title compound, [Ir(C10H5F2N2)2(C5H7O2)], has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the IrIII atom, retaining the cis-C,C/trans-N,N chelate disposition in two 2,6-difluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl ligands which are nearly mutually perpendicular [dihedral angle = 82....

Description
Summary:The title compound, [Ir(C10H5F2N2)2(C5H7O2)], has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry around the IrIII atom, retaining the cis-C,C/trans-N,N chelate disposition in two 2,6-difluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl ligands which are nearly mutually perpendicular [dihedral angle = 82.75 (15)°]. The molecular structure is stabilized by weak C—H...O and C—H...F hydrogen-bond interactions. The crystal structure is stabilized by π–π stacking interactions (centroid–centroid distance = 3.951 Å).
