Di-mu-chloro-bis[bis[2,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-kappa2C2',N]iridium(III)] dichloromethane disolvate

In the title compound, [Ir2(C16H13N2O3)4Cl2].2CH2Cl2, the two Ir atoms, 3.7075 (6) angstroms apart, are bridged by two Cl atoms which straddle a twofold axis of rotation through the two Ir atoms. Each Ir centre resides in a distorted octahedral environment completed by two chelating 2,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazole ligands, with trans-N-N and cis-C-C dispositions. In the stacking structure, there are two types of hydrogen bonds, involving the methoxy substituent, an N atom of the oxadiazole ring and the dichloromethane solvent molecules.
