Abstract

In the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(6)H(6))(C(19)H(17)P)], the Ru(II) atom has a distorted pseudo-octa-hedral coordination environment with the metrical parameters around the metallic core as Ru-centroid(η(6)-benzene) = 1.6894 (11) Å, Ru-P = 2.3466 (6), Ru-Cl(avg.) = 2.4127 (7) Å; Cl-Ru-Cl = 88.07 (2) and Cl-Ru-P = 82.77 (2), 87.65 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the benzyl-diphenyl-phosphane was calculated to be 143°. In the crystal C-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯π inter-actions are observed.
