Dichlorido(η6-p-cymene)(4-fluoroaniline-kN)ruthenium(II)

Abstract

The title compound, [RuCl2(C10H14)(C 6H6FN)], a pseudooctahedral d6 complex, has the expected piano-stool geometry around the Ru(II) atom. The fluoroaniline ring forms a dihedral angle of 19.3 (2)° with the p-cymene ring. In the crystal, two molecules form an inversion dimer via a pair of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak intermolecular C-H⋯Cl interactions involving the p-cymene ring consolidate the crystal packing.
