[1-tert-Butyl-3-(pyridin-2-ylmethyl-κN)imidazol-2-ylidene-κC1]carbonyldichlorido(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)ruthenium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [RuCl2(C13H17N3)(C2H6OS)(CO)], the coordination environment around the Ru atom is slightly distorted octahedral. The Cl atoms are mutually trans to the dimethyl sulfoxide ligand and the imidazole carbene C atom, respectively. The carbonyl ligand is located trans to the pyridine N atom.
