M. Al-Noaimi and S. F. Haddad

Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂]·CH₂Cl₂, the complex consists of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridyl N-atom donors and two chloride ions coordinated to an Ru^II centre which lies on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. Equivalent ligands are cis, each related by the twofold rotation. One dichloromethane solvent molecule per Ru complex is trapped in the crystal structure.
