L. Russo, J. Figueira, J. Rodrigues and K. Rissanen

Abstract: The title compound, cis-[RuCl₂(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂]·2CH₂Cl₂, was obtained as an unexpected product from our attempts to prepare new ruthenium molecular wires using organic bridging ligands. Three solvates and a solvent-free structure of the isomeric complex with the chloride anions in a trans geometry have already been reported, while the cis isomer has been described only in solution studies prior to this work.
