X-ray structure analysis of symmetrically substituted 11′-diformyl­ruthenocene

摘要

1,1′-Di­formyl­ruthenocene, [Ru(C6H5O)2], crystallizes in the ortho­rhom­bic system in the P212121 space group at room temperature. There are two crystallographically independent mol­ecules in the asymmetric unit. The cyclo­penta­dienyl rings have eclipsed configuration. The mol­ecules self-assemble in a two-dimensional structure by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π inter­actions with cisoid relative orientations of the two formyl groups. The crystal studied was refined as an inversion twin.
