In the title compound, [RuCl(C10H8N2)2(CO)]PF6, the RuII atom is coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry by four N atoms of the bipyridine ligands, a carbonyl C atom and a chloride ion. The carbonyl and chloride ligands in the cation adopt a mutually cis arrangement and these are disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.721 (6) and 0.279 (6). The Ru—N bond length [2.117 (2) Å] trans to the carbonyl ligand is slightly longer than the average of the other Ru—N bond lengths (2.08 Å), which can be explained by the expected trans influence of the carbonyl group. In the crystal, weak C—H...F inter­actions are observed between the complex cation and the PF6 anion, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with twin fractions of 0.78 (4) and 0.22 (4).

Comment top

Ruthenium(II) complexes containing both carbonyl and polypyridyl-based supporting ligands have been studied as catalysts for the reduction of carbon dioxide and in the water-gas shift reaction (Ishida et al., 1986; Lehn & Ziessel, 1990). Of the series complexes, [Ru(bpy)2(CO)Cl]+ (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine) has been used not only as catalysts but also as a precursor to a family of [Ru(bpy)2(CO)L]n+-type complexes (L = monodentate ligand). We have used the complex as the starting point for the preparation of more complex functional systems, and we report here the crystal structure of its hexafluoridophosphate salt.

The RuII atom has a distorted octahedral geometry, with four N atoms of the bidentate bipyridine ligands, a carbonyl carbon, and a chloride ion completing the first coordination sphere. The CO and Cl ligands in the cation are mutually cis arrangement (Fig. 1) and these are disordered over two sets of sites with site occupancies of 0.721 (6) and 0.279 (6). The Ru—N length trans to the CO ligand [2.117 (2) Å] is slightly longer than the average of other Ru—N lengths (2.08 Å) (Table 1). This can be explained by the expected trans influence of the CO group. In the crystal, the complex cation and the PF6- anion are linked via a number of weak C—H···F interactions, leading to the formation of a three-dimensional supramolecular structure. The crystal studied was an inversion twin with twin fractions of 0.78 (4) and 0.22 (4). The bond parameters of the complex are closely comparable to those of the reported ClO4- salt, although the corresponding ClO4- salt was refined using anisotropic temperature factors for Ru and Cl only (Clear et al., 1980).

Experimental top

The title compound was prepared according to a literature procedure (Oyama et al., 2012). X-ray quality crystals were grown by the diffusion of diethyl ether into an acetone solution of the complex over a week.

Refinement top

Aromatic H atoms were fixed at C—H distances of 0.95 Å and refined as riding, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The C and O atoms in the CO group and the Cl atom are disordered over two sets of sites, occupancies refining to 0.721 (6) and complement. Both the highest residual electron density peak and the deepest hole are located within 1 Å from atom Ru1. The Hooft y parameter was 0.228 (15).

Refinement. Refinement was performed using all reflections. The weighted R-factor (wR) and goodness of fit (S) are based on F2. R-factor (gt) are based on F. The threshold expression of F2 > 2.0 σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factor (gt).
