Abstract

The title complex, [Ir(C(11)H(6)F(2)N)(2)(C(9)H(8)NO(3))], consists of one Ir(III) ion, two C,N-bidentate 3,5-difluoro-2-(2-pyrid-yl)phenyl (F(2)ppy) ligands and one N,O-bidentate 3-allyl-oxypicolinate (pic-3-Oall) ligand. The Ir(III) ion is hexa-coordinated by two C atoms and two N atoms from the F(2)ppy ligands and one N atom and one carboxyl-ate O atom from the pic-3-Oall ligand, displaying a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal structure, weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex mol-ecules into a three-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
