V. N. Nesterov, W. Khan, A. E. Rangel and B. W. Smucker

Abstract: In the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₄H₄N₂)₄]·2CH₂Cl₂, the Ru^II atom occupies a position of 222 symmetry and the C atom of the solvent molecule occupies a site with twofold symmetry. The Ru^II atom has a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The pyrazine rings are propeller-like and rotated 45.1 (1)° from the RuN₄ plane. In the crystal, the complex and solvent molecules are bridged by weak C-HN hydrogen bonds along the c axis. Weak intermolecular C-HCl contacts link the complexes in the ab plane, forming a network.
