Abstract: The reaction of RuCl(Tp)(Ph₃P)₂, where Tp is [(CH)₃N₂]₃BH, with benzophenone imine leads to the formation of the title compound, [Ru(C₉H₁₀BN₆)Cl(C₁₃H₁₁N)(C₁₈H₁₅P)]·C₄H₁₀O. The environment about the Ru atom corresponds to a slightly distorted octahedron and the bite angle of the Tp ligand produces an average N-Ru-N angle of 86.3 (9)°. The three Ru-N(Tp) bond lengths [2.117 (2), 2.079 (2) and 2.084 (2) Å] are slightly longer than the average distance (2.038 Å) in other ruthenium-Tp complexes.
