J. Chen, L. Han and Z. Chen

Abstract: The title compound, trans-[Ru(NCS)₂(C₅H₅N)₄]·2CH₂Cl₂, was prepared by the reaction between trans-dichlorotetrapyridineruthenium(II) and excess KSCN in refluxing aqueous pyridine. The Ru atom is in a pseudo-octahedral environment, with two N-donors from two monodentate NCS groups and four N-donors from the pyridine ligands. The complex molecule lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis, passing through Ru and the two pyridine ligands
