Crystal structure of 1 3 bis 2 4 6 trimethylphenyl imidazolidin 2 ylidene dichlorido 2 1 dimethylamino ethyl benzylidene ruthenium including an unknown solvate.

The Ru atom has an Addison ? parameter of 0.234, which indicates a geometry inter­mediate between square-based pyramidal and trigonal–bipyramidal. The complex shows the usual trans arrangement of the two chloride ligands, with Ru—Cl bond lengths of 2.3397?(8) and 2.3476?(8)?Å, and a Cl—Ru— Cl angle of 157.47?(3)°. The crystal structure features C—H...Cl, C—H...? and ?–? stacking inter­actions. The solvent mol­ecules were found to be highly disordered and their contribution to the scattering was removed with the SQUEEZE procedure in PLATON [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9–18], which indicated a solvent cavity of volume 1096?Å3 containing approximately 419 electrons. These solvent mol­ecules are not considered in the given chemical formula and other crystal data.enAttribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 Internationalinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCrystal structureRuthenium catalystHoveyda–Grubbs catalystN—Ru coordination bondMetathesis of olefinsSQUEEZEArticle75334234510.1107/S2056989019001725Q3N/A
