In the title compound, [InCl(3)(C(12)H(12)N(2))(CH(3)OH)]·CH(3)OH, the In(III) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a methanol mol-ecule and three Cl atoms. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds link the complex and solvent methanol mol-ecules. Intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds are also present in the complex.
