The title compound, [Ru(C47H43N2)Cl(C10H14)]·2C6H6, crystallized with two independent mol-ecules of benzene. One of the N-aryl moieties of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand underwent cyclo-metallation to form a five-membered ruthenacycle. The complex has a three-legged piano-stool structure with two C atoms incorporated in the five-membered ruthenacycle and a Cl atom as legs. The ruthenacycle is essentially coplanar with the imidazole ring of the NHC ligand, making a dihedral angle of 0.85 ...[more]
