Abstract: In the title ruthenium(II) mononuclear complex, [RuCl₂(C₁₈H₂₄N₂)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂]·CH₂Cl₂, the Ru^II ion exhibits an octahedral coordination environment consisting of the two trans P atoms of triphenylphosphine, the two chelating N atoms of 4,4'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-bipyridine and the two cis Cl atoms. The average Ru-P, Ru-N and Ru-Cl bond lengths are 2.3736 (8), 2.043 (2) and 2.4518 (8) Å, respectively.
