Abstract

The title compound, [Ir(C₁₅H₁₀N)₂(C₁₉H₁₂N₄)]PF₆·CH₃OH, crystallizes in the C2/c space group with one monocationic iridium complex, one hexa-fluorido-phosphate anion, and one methanol solvent mol-ecule of crystallization in the asymmetric unit, all in general positions. The anion and solvent are linked to the iridium complex cation via hydrogen bonding. All bond lengths and angles fall into expected ranges compared to similar compounds.
