title: Tricarbonyl-bis(tricyclo-hexyl-phosphine-κP)ruthenium(0) toluene solvate.
abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C(18)H(33)P)(2)(CO)(3)]·C(7)H(8), shows a distorted trigonal-bipyramdial coordination around the central Ru atom, with the two phosphine ligands occupying the axial positions. Two toluene mol-ecules per asymmetric unit with site-occupation factors of 0.5 are observed. One of them forces two of the CO ligands to enclose a wider C-Ru-C bond angle [127.5 (3)°] than in the solvent-free crystal structure of [Ru(PCy(3))(2)(CO)(3)] (Cy is cyclo-hexyl).
