(Acetyl-acetonato-κO,O')bis-[5-meth-oxy-2-(naphth[1,2-d][1,3]oxazol-2-yl)phenyl-κC,N]iridium(III).

In the title compound, [Ir(C(18)H(12)NO(2))(2)(C(5)H(7)O(2))], the Ir atom is O,O'-chelated by the acetyl-acetonate group and C,N-chelated by the 2-aryl-naphth[1,2-d]oxazole groups. The six-coordinate metal atom displays a distorted octa-hedral geometry. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds occur. In the crystal, inter-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into columns parallel to the b axis.
