description

The title compound, cis-[RuCl2(C26H24P2)2]·2CH2Cl2, was obtained as an unexpected product from our attempts to prepare new ruthenium molecular wires using organic bridging ligands. Three solvates and a solvent-free structure of the isomeric complex with the chloride anions in a trans geometry have already been reported, while the cis isomer has been described only in solution studies prior to this work.
