Abstract

The title compound, [RuCl(C10H14)(C16H12N2O)]Cl·CHCl3, has been synthesized by the reaction of [RuCl2(p‐cymene)]2 with 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine in acetonitrile. The RuII cation is in a pseudo‐octahedral environment formed by a chloride anion, a cymene molecule (with an η6 coordination mode) and a chelating 6‐(2‐hydroxyphenyl)‐2,2′‐bipyridine ligand. The other chloride anion is uncoordinated but links with the complex via O—H...Cl hydrogen bonding. The two methyl groups of the isopropyl group are disordered over two positions in approximately a 0.7:0.3 ratio.
