Crystal structure of chlorido(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)bis[4-(pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde-κ3C2,N]iridium(III) acetonitrile monosolvate

Abstract

The title compound, [IrCl(C12H8NO)2{(CH3)2SO}]·H3CCN or [IrCl(fppy)2(DMSO)]·H3CCN [where fppy is 4-(pyridin-2-yl)benzaldehyde and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide], is a mononuclear iridium(III) complex including two fppy ligands, a sulfur-coordinating DMSO ligand, and one terminal chloride ligand that define a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The complex crystallizes from 1:1 DMSO–acetonitrile as an acetonitrile solvate. In the crystal, weak C—H...O and C—H...N hydrogen-bonding interactions between adjacent complexes and between the acetonitrile solvent and the complex consolidate the packing.
