Abstract

The complex cis-[RuCl(DMSO)(phen)2]BPh4, where DMSO is dimethylsulfoxide and phen is 1,10-phenanthroline, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c with a = 19.505(4), b = 10.045(2), c = 21.199(4) Å, β = 90.137(4)°, V = 4153(2) Å3, Z = 4, Dcalc = 1.430 g cm-3. The ruthenium coordination geometry is that of a slightly distorted octahedron with a cis-RuN 4ClS arrangement of the ligand donor atoms. The Ru-Cl distance is 2.421(1) Å and the Ru-S distance 2.250(2) Å. The four Ru-N distances are 2.057(6), 2.066(4), 2.073(4), and 2.086(4) Å with the Ru-N bond trans to Cl the second shortest and the Ru-N bond trans to S the longest one.
