The title compound, ccc-[Ru(5mazpy)2Cl2] (5mazpy = 5-methyl-2-(phenylazo)pyridine) crystallized in monoclinic, space group P21/c with unit-cell parameters: a = 14.348(1)Å, b = 12.705(1)Å, c = 13.968(1)Å, β = 111.18(1)°, Z = 4. According to the pairs of Cl, N(pyridine), and N(azo) coordinating with the Ru(II) ion, this complex has a cis-cis-cis (ccc) configuration. The Ru-N(azo) distances are relatively shorter than the Ru-N(pyridine) distances, due to strong π-backbonding of the azo moiety.
