Abstract
In the title half-sandwich complex, [RuCl(η6-C12H18)(C10H9N3)]PF6·CH2Cl2, the ruthenium(II) ion is four-coordinated by a chloro, a hexamethylbenzene and a bidentate N,N′-chelating di(pyridin-2-yl)amine ligand. In the crystal, the amino N—H group forms a hydrogen bond with the chloro ligand of a neighbouring complex, thus forming chains along the b axis. Weak intermolecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯ Cl contacts are also observed.
