Crystal structure of bis­[2-tert-but­oxy-6-fluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)pyridin-4-yl-κC (4)](pentane-2,4-dionato-κ(2) O,O′)iridium(III)

The title mol­ecule, [Ir(C(14)H(14)FN(2)O)(2)(C(5)H(7)O(2))], is located on a twofold rotation axis, which passes through the Ir(III) atom and the central C atom of the pentane-2,4-dionate anion. The Ir(III) atom adopts a distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry, being C,N-chelated by two 2-tert-but­oxy-6-fluoro-3-(pyridin-2-yl)pyridin-4-yl ligands and O,O′-chelated by the pentane-2,4-dionato ligand. The bipyridinate ligands, which are perpendicular to each other [dihedral angle between the two least-squares planes = 89.95 (5)°], are arranged in a cis-C,C′ and trans-N,N′ fashion relative to the central metal cation. Intra­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and inter­molecular C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds as well as π—π inter­actions between neighbouring pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance 3.680 (1) Å] contribute to the stabilization of the mol­ecular and crystal structure, respectively.
