Abstract

The title compound, [RuCl2(C10H14)(C21H21O3P)], crystallizes with two complex mol-ecules in the asymmetric unit. The RuII atom has a classical three-legged piano-stool environment being coordinated by a cymene ligand [Ru-centroid = 1.707 (2)/1.704 (2) Å], a tris-(4-meth-oxy-phen-yl)phosphane ligand [Ru-P = 2.3629 (15)/2.3665 (15) Å] and two chloride atoms with the Ru-Cl bonds adopting two distinct values of 2.4068 (16)/2.4167 (16) and 2.4016 (15)/2.4244 (16) Å. The effective cone and solid angles for the phosphane ligands were calculated to be 149.5/150.2° and 25.3/25.6°, respectively. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯Cl/O/π inter-actions are observed. The crystal was refined as a two-component twin.
