Aqua-[N-(1-naphth-yl)acetamido-κN]bis-[2-(2-pyrid-yl)phenyl-κN,C]iridium(III) ethyl-ene glycol hemisolvate.

In the title compound, [Ir(C(11)H(8)N)(2)(C(12)H(10)NO)(H(2)O)]·0.5C(2)H(6)O(2), the iridium center is coordinated by two N atoms and two C atoms from two 2-(2-pyrid-yl)phenyl (ppy) ligands, one N atom from the N-(1-naphth-yl)acetamide ligand and one water O atom, forming a distorted octa-hedral environment. Mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds formed by the coordinated water mol-ecule and the amide O atom of the N-(1-naphth-yl)acetamide ligands.
