In the title compound, [Ir(C10H15)(C11H8N)(N3)], the IrIII ion is coordinated by three anionic ligands, namely, pentamethylcyclopentadienyl (Cp*−), 2-(pyridin-2-yl)phenyl (ppy−) and azide (N3−), and adopts a three-legged piano-stool geometry The coordination mode of N3− is typical for Cp*IrIII–N3 complexes, with an Ir—N(N3) bond length of 2.125 (2) Å and an Ir—N=N bond angle of 116.5 (2)°. The N3− ligand is almost linear [N=N=N = 176.0 (3)°], and the N=N bond length between the central and coordinating N atom and that between the central and non-coordinating terminal N atom are 1.194 (3) and 1.157 (3) Å, respectively. For the ppy− ligand, the Ir—C and Ir—N bond lengths are 2.066 (3) and 2.079 (3) Å, respectively, which are rather close to each other, compared to the related IrIII– or RhIII–ppy complexes. The Ir—C(Cp*) bond lengths vary in the range 2.163 (2)–2.232 (2) Å, indicating a strong trans influence of the cyclometallated C-donor atom of the ppy− ligand.

In the title m-terphenyl derivative, C22H17NO4, the dihedral angles between the aromatic rings of the benzoic acid–acetophenone, acetophenone–benzamide and benzoic acid–benzamide units are 45.39 (8), 48.02 (8) and 42.93 (8)°, respectively. The carbamoyl and carboxyl groups are disordered with a refined occupancy ratio of 0.558 (15):0.442 (15). In the crystal, molecules are linked through O—HO and N—HO hydrogen bonds between terminal carboxyl and carbamoyl groups in a bidentate manner, and antiparallel helices are formed which extend along the b-axis direction.
