Abstract
The new compound, [Ru(NCC6H5)6][BF4]2, has been synthesized by reaction of the polymeric species [{RuCl2(COD)}x] (COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene) with benzonitrile under reflux and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, NMR spectroscopic analyses, and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The Ru(II) atom is coordinated by six N atoms from six benzonitrile ligands in distorted octahedralc oordination geometry. The compound was crystallized in the monoclinic space group P21/c with unit-cell dimensions a = 10.7536(11) A ° , b = 18.6582(18) A °, c = 20.311(2) A ° , b = 91.864(2) , V = 4073.2(7) A ° 3 and final R of 0.0429.
