Abstract

The title cyclo-metalated distorted octa-hedral iridium complex, [Ir(C₁₁H₆F₂N)₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₂O₂)]PF₆, exhibits elongated Ir-N bonds to the dimeth-oxy bi-pyridine ligand [2.128 (3) and 2.136 (3) Å] where these nitro-gen atoms are trans to the Ir-C bonds of the two cyclo-metalating di-fluoro-phenyl-pyridine ligands. The angles between the mean planes of the phenyl and pyridyl fragments within the individual ligands range from 3.5 (2) to 11.4 (2)° to deviate slightly from coplanarity.

Keywords: 4–4′-dimethoxy-2,2′-bipyridine; crystal structure; cyclometalated complex; iridium(III).
