Preferred Abstract (Original):
In the title compound, [RuCl2(C5H14N2)(C18H15P)2], the RuII atom is six-coordinated, forming a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, with two chloride ions in an axial arrangement, and two P atoms of two triphenylphosphane and two chelating N atoms of the bidentate 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diamine ligand located in the equatorial plane. The average Ru-P, Ru-N and Ru-Cl bond lengths are 2.325 (18), 2.1845 (7) and 2.4123 (12) Å, respectively.
