Trichlorido(4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ2N,N′)(methanol-κO)indium(III) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [InCl3(C12H12N2)(CH3OH)]·CH3OH, the InIII atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a methanol mol­ecule and three Cl atoms. In the crystal, inter­molecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex and solvent methanol mol­ecules. Intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also present in the complex.
