Abstract

The structure of the title complex, [RuCl₂(C₆H₆NO)₄], exhibits point group symmetry . The structure exhibits disorder around a axis. The 4-meth-oxy-pyridine ligands have a propeller-like arrangement around the Ru^II atom at 52.0 (3)° from the RuN₄ plane.

Keywords: 4-methoxypyridine; crystal structure; ruthenium(II).
