Trans-(2-Acetylpyridine-κ < sup > 2 < /sup > N,O)-dichlorobis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κS)-ruthenium(II)

Abstract

The synthesis, characterization and molecular structure of the [RuCl2(C7H7NO)(C2H6O S)2] was reported. The metal ion was at the centre of a distorted octahedral NOCl2S2 coordination sphere. The monodentate S-coordinating dimethyl sulfoxide molecules were mutually cis and the two remaining positions in the coordination sphere were occupied by two mutually trans Cl- ions.
