2P,P']ruthenium(II)In the title compound, [RuCl2(C16H32P2)2], the RuII ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis, so the asymmetric unit contains one half-molecule. The slightly distorted octahedral environment of the Ru center is formed by four P atoms [Ru-P = 2.4417 (6) and 2.4544 (6) Å] from two different (1S,1S',2R,2R')-TangPhos ligands [(1S,1S',2R,2R')-TangPhos = (1S,1S',2R,2R')-(+)-1,1'-di-tert-butyl-2,2'-diphospholane] and two Cl atoms [Ru-Cl = 2.4267 (5) Å].
To a solution of [RuCl2(PPh)3] (96 mg, 0.1 mmol) in 2 ml of deoxygenated CH2Cl2 was added dropwise a solution of (1S,1S',2R,2R')-TangPhos, (56 mg, 0.2 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (1 ml). The resulting mixture was stirred at ambient temperature for 6 h. Deoxygenated ether (12 ml) was added into the vigorously stirring solution and kept for 6 h at room temperature. The resulting light brown precipitate was filtered, washed with ether (3 times with 10 ml), and dried under vacuum. Yield: 45 mg (56%). Crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction were obtained by diffusion of hexane into a CD2Cl2 solution of the above compound at room temperature.
All H atoms were positioned geometrically (C—H 0.98–1.00 Å), and treated as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2–1.5Ueq (C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Recently, some chiral diphosphino ruthenium complexes have been synthesized and used as catalysts for the asymmetric reactions (Stoop et al., 1999; James et al., 1993). Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound - the ruthenium(II) complex containing the chiral TangPhos ligand.
As shown in Fig. 1, the crystals of the title complex contain discrete [RuCl2(TangPhos)2] units with the metal center in a slightly distorted octahedral environment. The trans-axial positions of RuII environment are occupied by Cl1 and Cl1i atoms, and the equatorial positions are occupied by P1, P2, P1i, P2i atoms, respectively [symmetry code: (i) -x, y, -z + 1/2], from two different TangPhos ligands, resulting in two chelate rings, which assume a half-chair conformation with the tert-butyl in the less hindered equatorial positions. Similar conformations were found in previously reported related structures (Stoop et al., 1999; Ikariya et al., 1985).
