N)dichloridobis(triphenylphosphine-P)ruthenium(II) acetonitrile disolvateAbstract: The title compound, [RuCl2(C2H3N)2(C18H15P)2]·2C2H3N, was obtained upon stirring an acetonitrile/ethanol solution of [RuCl2(PPh3)3]. In the crystal structure, each RuII ion is coordinated by two Cl [Ru-Cl = 2.4308 (7) and 2.4139 (7) Å], two N [Ru-N = 2.016 (2) and 2.003 (2) Å], and two P [Ru-P = 2.3688 (7) and 2.3887 (7) Å] atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. Packing interactions include typical C-H

contacts involving phenyl groups as well as weak hydrogen bonds between CH3CN methyl H atoms and Cl or solvent CH3CN N atoms.
