[2,6-Di-fluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl-κC (4)](penta-ne-2,4-dionato-κ(2) O,O')iridium(III).

ABSTRACT

The title compound, [Ir(C10H5F2N2)2(C5H7O2)], has a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry around the Ir(III) atom, retaining the cis-C,C/trans-N,N chelate disposition in two 2,6-di-fluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl ligands which are nearly mutually perpendicular [dihedral angle = 82.75 (15)°]. The mol-ecular structure is stabilized by weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen-bond inter-actions. The crystal structure is stabilized by π-π stacking inter-actions (centroid-centroid distance = 3.951 Å).
