Trichlorido(6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ²N,N′)(dimethylsulfoxide-κO)indium(III)

Abstract

In the title compound, [In(C11H10N2)Cl3(C2H6OS)], the InIII cation is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral configuration by two N atoms from the chelating 6-methyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl­sulfoxide group and three Cl− anions. Weak inter­molecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and intra­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are present in the structure.
