Abstract
The crystal structure of the adduct dibenzo-42-crown-14 (OC-6-22)-tetr aammine(1, 10-phenanthroline-N,N')-ruthenium(II) bis(hexafluorophospha te) dichloromethane solvate, [RU(C12H8N2)(NH3)(4)](PF6)(2).C36H56O14CH 2Cl2, is reported. The guest Ru complex is located deep within the U-s haped cavity formed by folding of the flexible crown host. The ammine ligands of the Ru complex participate in an extensive network of hydro gen bonds with the ether O atoms of the crown. Weak pi stacking appear s to occur between the aromatic rings of the phenanthroline ligand and the benzene groups of the crown ether.
