Abstract

Solution and refinement of the crystal structure of fac-Ir(ppy)(3) is severely hampered by systematic twinning and pseudo-symmetry.fac-Ir(ppy)(3) Crystallizes in the centrosymmetric space group P (3) over bar as has been deduced from single-crystal structure refinement and investigations of the second harmonic generation (SHG) of fac-Ir(ppy)(3) powder as compared to two standard materials. The topology of the molecular packing of fac-Ir(ppy)(3) is identical to the packing observed for [Ru(bpy)(3)](0), however, the site symmetry of all Ir(ppy)(3) molecules is necessarily lowered from D-3 to C-3. Packing motifs with intermolecular "pi-pi interactions" of T-shaped and "shifted pi stack" geometry are realized. The systematic twinning leads to the occurrence of crystalline domains with rigorously alternating chirality within the bulk of the domains but with homochiral fac-Ir(ppy)(3) contacts at the domain interfaces. These differences in packing motifs are displayed in the emission spectra and in the high-pressure-induced shifts of the emission. The emission maximum of the bulk material at 18 350 cm(-1) (545 nm) and of the domain interfaces at 19 700 cm-1 (507 nm) experience for p < 25 kbar and T = 295 K red shifts of Delta nu/Delta p = -(12 +/- 2) cm(-1)/kbar, and -(22 +/- 4) cm(-1)/kbar, respectively.
