Abstract: The molecular structure of the title compound, trans-[Cu(C₂H)Cl(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂], consists of an Ru^II cation, located on an inversion centre, in an octahedral environment defined by two chelating phosphines, one acetylide and one chloride ligand. The -CCH and the chlorine ligands are disordered over two equivalent positions (0.5 occupancy each). The coordination geometry is distorted octahedral, with the -CCH fragment and the Cl ligand in trans positions. The four P atoms occupy the equatorial plane of the octahedron and the chloride and acetylide ligands the axial positions.
