A ruthenium complex with 1,5-diphenyl-3-thiocarbazone (dithizone) as monodentate ligands: bis(2,2'-bipyridyl-kappa(2)N,N')bis(dithizonato-kappaS)ruthenium(II).
The title compound, [Ru(C(13)H(11)N(4)S)(2)(C(15)H(8)N(2))(2)], has C(2) symmetry, with bidentate 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands dictating a cis geometry around the Ru(II) center. The monodentate S-bonded dithizone ligands are almost planar, except for one of the phenyl rings, which is twisted by 34.2 (4) degrees from the N/N/C(S)/N/N plane. The Ru-S bond length is 2.4140 (13) A, and the Ru-N bond lengths are 2.048 (4) and 2.074 (4) A.
