(2,2'-Bipyridine-4,4'-dicarb-oxy-lic acid-?N,N')chlorido(2,2':6',2''-terpyridyl-?N,N',N'')ruthenium(II) perchlorate ethanol monosolvate monohydrate.

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [RuCl(C(15)H(11)N(3))(C(12)H(8)N(2)O(4))]ClO(4)·C(2)H(5)OH·H(2)O, the geometry of the ClN(5) coordination set around the Ru(II) atom is close to octa-hedral, but distorted on account of the limited bite angles of the polypyridyl ligands. The complexes are linked by O-H?O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl groups and the crystal lattice water mol-ecules into chains along [110]. Face-to-face stacking inter-actions are formed between terpyridine ligands, with inter-planar separations of 3.66?(1) and 3.42?(1)?Å, and between bipyridine-4,4'-dicarb-oxy-lic acid ligands, with inter-planar separations of 3.65?(1) and 3.72?(1)?Å. Three O atoms of the perchlorate ion are each disordered equally over two positions. The hy-droxy group of the ethanol mol-ecule is also disordered over two sites with refined occupancies of 0.794?(9) and 0.206?(9).
