Abstract: In the title compound, [Ir(C₁₀H₈N₃)(C₁₁H₈N)₂], the Ir center is octahedrally coordinated by the three chelating ligands, with two cyclometalated 2-pyridylphenyl ligands [Ir-N = 2.049 (5) and 2.030 (5) Å; Ir-C = 2.016 (6) and 2.012 (6) Å] and a bidentate 2-(phenyldiazenyl)pyrrolate ligand [Ir-N = 2.204 (5) and 2.079 (5) Å]. The Ir-N(diazenyl) bond is longer than the Ir-N(pyrrolate) bond. The structure is stabilized by aromatic - stacking, the shortest parallel distance between ring centroids being 3.426 (8) Å..
