Abstract: The crystal structure of a racemic mixture of the title ruthenium(II) complex, [RuCl(C₃₀H₃₀O₂P₂)₂]CF₃SO₃·2CH₂Cl₂, reveals that the coordination geometry about the coordinatively unsaturated metal centre is approximately trigonal-pyramidal, with the chlorine atom occupying one of the equatorial positions. The axial Ru-P bonds are longer than the equatorial Ru-P bonds and there is an acute P-Ru-P angle.
