(?(6)-Benzene)-dichlorido(dicyclo-hexyl-phenyl-phosphane)ruthenium(II) benzene sesquisolvate.

ABSTRACT: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RuCl2(C6H6)(C18H27P)]·1.5C6H6, contains one mol-ecule of the Ru(II) complex and one and a half solvent molecules as one of these is located about a centre of inversion. The Ru(II) atom has a classical three-legged piano-stool environment being coordinated by an ?(6)-benzene ligand [Ru-centroid = 1.6964?(6)?Å], two chloride ligands with an average Ru-Cl bond length of 2.4138?(3)?Å and a dicyclo-hexyl-phenyl-phosphane ligand [Ru-P = 2.3786?(3)?Å]. The effective cone angle for the phosphane was calculated to be 158°. In the crystal, weak C-H?Cl hydrogen bonds link the Ru(II) complexes into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing exhibits intra- and inter-molecular C-H?? inter-actions resulting in a zigzag pattern in the [101] direction.
