Tricarbonylbis(triphenylphosphane-κP)iridium(I) hexafluoridophosphate methanol monosolvate

In the title compound, [Ir(C18H15P)2(CO)3]PF6·CH3OH, 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...π interactions
