E. Galardon et al., Bis[(R)-1-phenylethyl isocyanido]-(5,10,15,20-tetrakis{2,6-bis[(S)-2,2-dimethyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-ylmethyloxy]-phenyl}porphyrin)ruthenium(II) at 110 K, ACT CRYST C, 56, 2000, pp. 955-956
The geometry about the Ru atom in the title compound, [Ru(C9H9N)(2)(C92H108
N4O24)], is approximately tetragonal and the porphyrin ring is nearly plana
r, while the C-N-R angles [169.3 (3) and 163.9 (3)degrees] of the isocyanid
e ligands in the complex are different from the value of 180 degrees expect
ed in the free ligand.
