[2-(sec-Butyliminomethyl)quinoline]chlorido(η6-1-isopropyl-4-methylbenzene)ruthenium(II) hexafluoridophosphate

Abstract

In the title compound, [RuCl(C10H14)(C14H16N2)]PF6, the aromatic ring of the isopropylmethylbenzene fragment shows an η6-arene coordination to the ruthenium atom. Its coordination sphere is completed by a chloride ligand and 2-(sec-butyliminomethyl)quinoline. The dihedral angle between the η6-arene ring and the quinoline Schiff base is 45.64 (9)°. The sec-butyl substituent and the PF6− anion are disordered over two positions with ratios of 0.595 (11):0.405 (11) and 0.752 (8):0.248 (8), respectively.
