Facile ligand substitution is observed when the ruthenium chloride complex [Ru(η5-C9H7)Cl(dppe)] (dppe is diphenylphosphanyl ethane) is treated with NaN3 in refluxing ethanol, yielding the title compound, [Ru(η5-C9H7)(N3)(dppe)] or [Ru(C9H7)(N3)(C26H24P2)]. The Ru(II) atom has a typical piano-stool coordination. The Ru—P bond lengths are 2.284 (2) and 2.235 (2) Å. NMR and MS analyses are in agreement with the structure of the title compound.
