title: A complex containing three different kinds of Ru-N bonds: ethoxydinitronitrosyl(N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine-kappa2N,N')ruthenium(II).
abstract: The octahedral title compound, [Ru(C(2)H(5)O)(NO)(NO(2))(2)(C(6)H(16)N(2))], crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group P3(1) with an ethoxy ligand axially coordinated trans to the nitrosyl ligand. The RuII ion is equatorially coordinated by a tetramethylethylenediamine group acting as a bidentate ligand, and to two nitro moieties whose planes are tilted with respect to the mean equatorial plane. Each nitrogen ligand bonded to the metallic centre has a different hybridization state.
