title: (Benzophenone imine-κN)-chlorido(hydrido-tripyrazolyl-borato)-(triphenyl-phosphine)ruthenium(II) diethyl ether solvate.
abstract: The reaction of RuCl(Tp)(Ph(3)P)(2), where Tp is [(CH)(3)N(2)](3)BH, with benzophenone imine leads to the formation of the title compound, [Ru(C(9)H(10)BN(6))Cl(C(13)H(11)N)(C(18)H(15)P)]·C(4)H(10)O. The environment about the Ru atom corresponds to a slightly distorted octa-hedron and the bite angle of the Tp ligand produces an average N-Ru-N angle of 86.3 (9)°. The three Ru-N(Tp) bond lengths [2.117 (2), 2.079 (2) and 2.084 (2) Å] are slightly longer than the average distance (2.038 Å) in other ruthenium-Tp complexes.
