Abstract
The title complex [Ru(Cl)2(CO)(py)2(AsPh3)], was synthesized and characterized. The molecular structure and crystal structures are determined by X-ray crystallography. The dihedral angle between the two cis -pyridine rings is 73.3(2)°, which shows that they are almost orthogonal to each other. The molecular structure is stabilized by inter-molecular and intra-molecular C-H…Cl interactions. The molecular structure is further stabilized by interactions between the aromatic rings.
