Cd. Bryan et al., STRUCTURE OF CHLOROHYDROXONITROSYL(TERPYRIDINE)RUTHENIUM(II) HEXAFLUOROPHOSPHATE, Journal of chemical crystallography, 27(7), 1997, pp. 413-415
The title complex has the NO group trans to the hydroxyl ligand and th
e chloride ion in the plane of the tripyridyl ligand. The Ru-O and Ru-
N(O) distances are 1.939(5) Angstrom and 1.764(6) Angstrom, respective
ly; the Ru-N-O bond angle is 171.7(6)degrees. These values are consist
ent with previously reported shortening of Ru-O distances when trans t
o a Linear NO ligand. The space group of the structure is P2(1)/c, wit
h a = 9.7213(9) Angstrom, b = 13.9318(11) Angstrom, c = 14.523(4) Angs
trom, and beta = 105.820(13)degrees.
