Abstract

In the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(5)H(14)N(2))(C(18)H(15)P)(2)], the Ru(II) atom is six-coordinated, forming a slightly distorted octa-hedral geometry, with two chloride ions in an axial arrangement, and two P atoms of two triphenyl-phosphane and two chelating N atoms of the bidentate 2,2-dimethyl-propane-1,3-diamine ligand located in the equatorial plane. The average Ru-P, Ru-N and Ru-Cl bond lengths are 2.325 (18), 2.1845 (7) and 2.4123 (12) Å, respectively.
