Abstract
The title compound, having the molecular formula [RuI(η6-C10H14)(C10H8N2)]PF6, crystallizes in the triclinic P (Z = 2) space group as a half-sandwich complex resembling a three-legged piano stool. Important geometrical parameters include Ru - cymene centroid = 1.6902 (17) Å, Ru - I = 2.6958 (5) Å, [Ru - N]avg = 2.072 (3) Å, N1 - Ru - N2 = 76.86 (12)° and a dihedral angle between the planes of the two rings of the bipyridyl system of 5.9 (2)°. The PF6 -ion was treated with a twofold disorder model, refining to a 65.0 (8):35.0 (8) occupancy ratio. The crystal packing features C - H⋯F/I interactions.
