Dichlorotris(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(II) dichloromethane hemisolvate

A. R. Cowley, J. R. Dilworth and C. A. Maresca von Beckh W.

Abstract: A third modification of [RuCl₂(PPh₃)₃] has been characterized, this time as the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₃]·0.5CH₂Cl₂. As seen for the previous modifications, the complex has a distorted square-pyramidal geometry with an ortho-H atom `blocking' the site trans to the apical PPh₃ ligand. There is no evidence for a strong C-HRu interaction nor any specific directional force in the solid state.
