R factor = 0.019; wR factor = 0.044; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.4. In the title compound, [Ir(C18H15P)2(CO)3]PF6CH3OH, the IrI atom is coordinated by two triphenylphosphine ligands in axial sites and three carbonyl ligands in the equatorial plane of a fairly regular trigonal bipyramid: the equatorial C—Ir—C angles range from 115.45 (9) to 126.42 (10). The small deviations from the ideal tetrahedral geometry around the P atoms are illustrated by C—P—C angles ranging from 104.08 (9) to 106.46 (9). In the crystal, the molecules are linked by weak C—H F, C—H O and C—H inter-actions. Related literatur
