Bis[3,5-difluoro-2-(4-methylpyridin-2-yl)phenyl-κ 2 C 1 , N ](picolinato-κ 2 N , O )iridium(III) chloroform monosolvate

In the title complex, [Ir(C12H8F2N)2(C6H4NO2)]·CHCl3, two similar molecules of each component comprise the asymmetric unit. The independent complex molecules are linked by intermolecular π–π interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.830 (4) Å]. The IrIII ion adopts a distorted octahedral geometry, being coordinated by three N atoms, two C atoms, and one O atom of three bidentate ligands, with the N atoms arranged meridionally.
