Abstract
The title complex is synthesized and analyzed using single crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The asymmetric unit [RuCl3(CO)(PPh3)2] of the title complex contains one half of the molecule. The molecular structure is stabilized by C3-H3…Cl1 and C9-H9…Cl2 intramolecular halogen interactions which result in two S(6) ring motifs. The crystal packing features are the C-H…Cg1 interactions, where Cg1 is the center of gravity of the phenyl ring (C14-C19). No classical hydrogen bond is found in the complex.
