I didn't try to find Mike Barker's UR classification for this pattern.

At least you can write it as ALS chain with the external candidates 3r1c9=6(r8c89):
[edit: corrected, thanks to Danny]

Using the UR at r3c79 & r9c79 in a chain:

(2=6)r8c5 - (6=8)r8c8 - (8=1)r2c8 - (1=2)UR r3c79;r9c79: => r8c9, r9c45 <> 2; stte

I looked for something a bit different than my normal routine........

AXY-wing(18-3)r2c84,r1c9 with (38=1)r1c9
[xy-wing(18-3)r2c84,r1c9 => r1c6<>3] = [1r1c9-(1=8)r1c31-(8=6)r4c1-(6=12)r49c4-(1=3)r2c4 => r1c6<>3] =>r1c6<>3

3r3c2=(3-8)r2c2=[DP]=2r1c6-(2=13)r1c5,r2c4 => r2c2<>3

I was more interested in using a network to show r3c9=1 => r9c9<>36=2. I used the UR to create a discontinuous loop containing the network. I thought it was a reasonable solution.

Incidentally, this also works for your chain.

Thanks for correcting my chain.

No question, that it was a reasonable solution (as well as Marty's recently, as JC Van Hay had pointed out - and SudoQ's solutions have the allure, that it is not immediately obvious, what he did).
But sorry, i could not resist to apply this aesthetical ALS-AIC writing.
