Abstract: In the title compound, [IrCl(C₁₂H₁₂N₂)(C₁₅H₁₁N₃)](PF₆)₂, the ligand environment about the Ir atom is distorted octahedral. The 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (terpy) ligand is coordinated in a meridional fashion, the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (dmbpy) ligand coordinated in a cis fashion and the Cl atom is trans to one of the dmbpy N atoms. Ir-N bond distances are 1.971  (5)-2.065  (6)  Å and the Ir-Cl distance is 2.357  (2)  Å.
