cis-Dichlorido[2-methyl-8-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)quinoline-κ3N,O,N′](triphenylphosphane-κP)ruthenium(II) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [RuCl2(C16H14N2O)(C18H15P)]·CH3OH, he RuII ion shows a slightly distorted octahedral coordination by two N atoms and one O atom from the 2-methyl-8-(pyridin-2-ylmethoxy)quinoline acting as an N,O,N′-tridentate ligand, two Cl atoms, and one P atom from a PPh3 ligand. The two Cl atoms adopt a cis arrangement with the PPh3 ligand trans to one Cl atom. The N,O,N′-tridentate ligand occupies a mer position in the coordination sphere.
