trans-(2-Acetylpyridine-kappa2N,O)dichlorobis(dimethyl sulfoxide-kappaS)ruthenium(II).
In the title complex, [RuCl(2)(C(7)H(7)NO)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)], the metal ion is at the centre of a distorted octahedral NOCl(2)S(2) coordination sphere. The neutral 2-acetylpyridine ligand binds to the metal ion through the pyridine N and carbonyl O atoms, forming a five-membered chelate ring. The monodentate S-coordinating dimethyl sulfoxide molecules are mutually cis, and the two remaining positions in the coordination sphere are occupied by two mutually trans Cl(-) ions.
