Molecular and Crystalline Structure of the Ruthenium(II) Complex [{trans-(dppe)2(Cl) Ru–C≡C–H} · 0.5CDCl3]: An Additional Determination

Abstract

The synthesis and X-ray diffraction study of the ruthenium(II) complex, [{trans-(dppe)₂(Cl) Ru–C≡C–H} · 0.5CDCl₃] (trans-Ru · 0.5CDCl₃), are presented. The molecule of trans-Ru · 0.5CDCl₃ crystallizes in the triclinic sp. gr. \(P\bar {1}\) with two chemically equivalent but crystallographic independent molecules. The intramolecular C–H···Cl–C hydrogen bonds build with the deuterated chloroform. In addition, the intermolecular C–H···Cl–Ru hydrogen bonds have been also found.
