Tris(acetonitrile-κN)dichlorido(triphenylphosphane-κP)ruthenium(II) acetonitrile monosolvate

Abstract

In the title complex, [RuCl2(CH3CN)3(C18H15P)]·CH3CN, the coordination geometry of the RuII atom is distorted octa­hedral, defined by one P atom from a tri­phenyl­phosphane ligand, three N atoms from three aceto­nitrile ligands and two Cl atoms. The three acetronitile ligands linearly bind to the RuII atom, with Ru—N—C angles of 172.6 (2), 179.9 (2) and 171.4 (2)°.
