Abstract: The structure of the title compound [Ru(C₇H₄NO₄)Cl(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂(CO)]·1.5C₆H₆·0.345H₂O, exhibits pairs of chains of hydrogen-bonded complex molecules that run parallel to the a axis with two different orientations, A and B, for the isocinchomeranic acid (pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid) ligand as a result of disorder; the minor orientation B may occur in either strand, and is hydrogen bonded via a water molecule to a parallel chain of type A. 69% of the pairs of chains are of type A-B; the rest consist of chains in the combination A-A with no bridging water molecules.
