Dichlorido[1-(2-chloro­eth­yl)-3-(pyridin-4-ylmethyl-κN)urea](η6-hexa­methyl­benzene)­ruthenium(II) chloro­form monosolvate

摘要

The RuII atom in the title compound, [RuCl2(C12H18)(C9H12ClN3O)]·CHCl3, exhibits a typical piano-stool coordination, defined by a hexa­methyl­benzene ligand, two chloride ligands and a pyridyl­urea ligand coordinated through the pyridine N atom. In the crystal, a dimeric structure is observed due to two strong N—H⋯Cl inter­actions between the NH groups of urea and the two chloride ligands of neighbouring mol­ecules. In addition, the C=O group of the urea moiety inter­acts with the solvent mol­ecule through weak C—H⋯O interactions.
