Abstract
In the title compound, [RuCl2(C6H6)(C19H17P)], the RuII atom has a distorted pseudo-octahedral coordination environment with the metrical parameters around the metallic core as Ru—centroid(η6-benzene) = 1.6894 (11) Å, Ru—P = 2.3466 (6), Ru—Cl(avg.) = 2.4127 (7) Å; Cl—Ru—Cl = 88.07 (2) and Cl—Ru—P = 82.77 (2), 87.65 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the benzyldiphenylphosphane was calculated to be 143°. In the crystal C—H⋯Cl and C—H⋯π interactions are observed.
