Abstract

The structure of the title compound, [RuCl₂(C₇H₁₀N₂)₂(C₂H₆OS)₂], has monoclinic (P2₁/n) symmetry. The Ru-N distances of the coordination compound are influenced by the trans chloride or di-methyl-sulfoxide-κS ligands. The mol-ecular structure exhibits disorder for two of the terminal methyl groups of a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand.

Keywords: DMAP; coordination compound; crystal structure; dmso; ruthenium(II).
