Abstract
The title compound, [RuCl2(C10H14)(C21H21O3P)], crystallizes with two complex molecules in the asymmetric unit. The RuII atom has a classical three-legged piano-stool environment being coordinated by a cymene ligand [Ru—centroid = 1.707 (2)/1.704 (2) Å], a tris(4-methoxyphenyl)phosphane ligand [Ru—P = 2.3629 (15)/2.3665 (15) Å] and two chloride atoms with the Ru—Cl bonds adopting two distinct values of 2.4068 (16)/2.4167 (16) and 2.4016 (15)/2.4244 (16) Å. The effective cone and solid angles for the phosphane ligands were calculated to be 149.5/150.2° and 25.3/25.6°, respectively. In the crystal, weak C—H...Cl/O/π interactions are observed. The crystal was refined as a two-component twin.
