Abstract: In the title compound, [Ir(C₁₁H₈N)₂(C₅H₁₀NS₂)], the Ir center has a distorted octahedral environment. The N donors of the two chelating 2-(2-pyridyl)phenyl ligands are in trans positions with respect to each other and the two C atoms are in a cis configuration. The packing is partially facilitated by C-H interactions between aromatic rings in neighboring molecules, connecting the molecules into infinite chains along the c axis of the unit cell. These chains are in turn connected by C-H interactions between neighboring chains. A crystallographic twofold rotation axis passes through Ir and C,N of the dithiocarbamate ligand.
