[(1R)-3-Benzoyl-1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-onato-κ2O,O′]chlorido(η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II)
Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RuCl(C10H14)(C17H19O2)], contains two diastereomers. In both, the RuII ion has a tetrahedral coordination, formed by two O atoms of the camphor-derived ligand and the p-cymene and Cl ligands. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—H...Cl interactions link the molecules into columns propagated along [010].
