Abstract: In the title compound, [IrCl(C₁₀H₈N₂)(C₂₂H₁₇N₃)](PF₆)₂·2C₂H₃N, the complex cation [Ir^IIICl(bpy)(tterpy)]²⁺ shows a deformed octahedral coordination geometry (tterpy = 4'-tolyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine and bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine). Due to the relatively strong intercationic tterpy-tterpy associations, the tolyl group deviates significantly from ideal geometry. The benzene ring of tterpy is inclined with respect to the central pyridyl ring at an angle of 24.7 (1)°.
