(η-Cyclo-penta-dien-yl)(propionitrile-κN)bis-(triphenyl-phosphine-κP)ruthenium(II) trifluoro-methane-sulfonate.

ABSTRACT: The title compound, [Ru(C(5)H(5))(C(3)H(5)N)(C(18)H(15)P)(2)]CF(3)SO(3), forms yellow crystals with a distinctly hemimorphic habit. It contains a half-sandwich complex of ruthenium with a three-legged piano-stool geometry, with Ru-P = 2.3585 (4) and 2.3312 (4) Å, and Ru-N = 2.0422 (15) Å as the legs. The CF(3)SO(3) (-) anion is anchored in the crystal lattice by C-H⋯O and C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, with C⋯F,O distances starting at 3.125 (2) Å.
