Crystal Structure of Chloro(2,2′-bipyridine)[3-(1,10-phenanthroline-2-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-as-triazine]ruthenium(II) Perchlorate

Abstract

The reaction between Ru(dppt)Cl3 (dppt = 3-(1,10-phenanthroline-2-yl)-5,6-diphenyl-as-triazine), 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy), LiCl and triethylamine in ethanol-H₂O resulted in a ruthenium(II) complex, [Ru(dppt)(bpy)Cl](ClO₄)·1.5C₇H₈. Crystallographic studies show that the Ru(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated to one dppt, one bpy and a Cl atom in a trans-axial position at a distance of 2.3996(5)Å.
