Abstract

The complexcis-[Ru(bpy)2 {PPh2(o-tol)}Cl][ClO4] crystallizes from dichloromethane as the sesqui-dichloromethane solvate. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with Z=4. The structure was refined toR=5.50% for those 2552 independent reflections with |F 0|>6σ(|F 0|) The octahedral Ru(II) cation is associated with the following bond lengths: Ru-PPh2(o-tol)=2.360(3)Å. Ru−Cl=2.433(2)Å and Ru−N(bpy)=2.041(8)–2.095(8)Å. Both the perchlorate anion and the dichloromethane molecules of solvation exhibit large amplitudes of vibration. One dichloromethane molecule lies in a general position, the other lies about an inversion center and suffers from disorder.
