title: (R,R(Fc),S(Ru))-Chlorido(η-p-cymene){1-[1-(diphenyl-phosphanyl)ethyl]-2-[2-(diphenyl-phosphanyl)phenyl]ferrocene-κP,P'}ruthenium(II) hexa-fluorido-phosphate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [FeRuCl(C(5)H(5))(C(10)H(14))(C(37)H(31)P(2))]PF(6), contains two independent, geometrically similar Ru(II) complexes of a chiral ferrocenyldiphosphane with piano-stool coordination through the η(6)-bound p-cymene ligand, two chelating phospho-rus donor atoms, and an exo-oriented chloride ion. The mean bond lengths of the two Ru complexes are Ru-C = 2.276 Å, Ru-P = 2.3816 Å, and Ru-Cl = 2.3924 Å. Both chloride ligands form only intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions. Seven weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F inter-actions involving mainly arene H atoms consolidate the crystal packing, which reveals an approximate c/2 pseudo-translation relating the two independent Ru complex mol-ecules.
