Abstract

The single-crystal X-ray structure analysis of [RuCl(2)(C(12)H(18))(C(5)H(7)NO)] reveals a distorted piano-stool geometry around the Ru(II) atom, with a hexa-methyl-benzene ligand, two chloride ligands and a furfuryl-amine ligand, the latter coordinating through the amine group. In the crystal, a dimeric structure is observed as a result of N-H⋯Cl inter-actions between two symmetry-related mol-ecules.
