Abstract: The title compound, [Ir(C₁₂H₈NO)Cl₂(C₁₂H₉NO)]·CH₂Cl₂, which was obtained from the reaction of iridium(III) chloride trihydrate and 2-benzoylpyridine, contains an Ir^III atom coordinated by two N, one O, one C and two Cl atoms in trans positions, forming a distorted octahedral environment. The solvent molecule CH₂Cl₂ is disordered over two positions with an occupancy of 0.8:0.2.
