Abstract

The complex cis-[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 to R = 5.50% for those 2552 independent reflections with |F0| > 6σ(|F0|). 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.
