CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF (2)(PPH(2)(O-TOL))CL][CLO4]CENTER-DOT-1.5(CH2CL2), A STRUCTURE CONTAINING BOTH ORDERED AND DISORDERED DICHLOROMETHANE MOLECULES OF CRYSTALLIZATION
Mr. Churchill et al., CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF (2)(PPH(2)(O-TOL))CL][CLO4]CENTER-DOT-1.5(CH2CL2), A STRUCTURE CONTAINING BOTH ORDERED AND DISORDERED DICHLOROMETHANE MOLECULES OF CRYSTALLIZATION, Journal of chemical crystallography, 26(2), 1996, pp. 111-116
The complex cis-[Ru(bpy)(2) {PPh(2)(o-tol)}Cl][ClO4] crystallizes from
dichloromethane as the sesqui-dichloromethane solvate, The complex cr
ystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1)/n with Z = 4. The struc
ture was refined to R = 5.50% for those 2552 independent reflections w
ith \F-o\ > 6 sigma(\F-o\). The octahedral Ru(II) cation is associated
with the following bond lengths: Ru-PPh(2)(o-tol) = 2.360(3)Angstrom,
Ru-Cl = 2.433(2)Angstrom and Ru-N(bpy) = 2.041(8)-2.095(8)Angstrom. B
oth the perchlorate anion and the dichloromethane molecules of solvati
on exhibit large amplitudes of vibration. One dichloromethane molecule
lies in a general position, the other lies about an inversion center
and suffers from disorder.
