title: Dichlorido(η-cyclo-octa-1,5-diene)bis-(propane-nitrile-κN)ruthenium(II).
abstract: In the title complex, [RuCl(2)(C(8)H(12))(C(3)H(5)N)(2)], the metal ion is coordinated to both double bonds of the cyclo-octa-1,5-diene ligand, two chloride ions (in cis positions) and two N-atom donors from two propane-nitrile mol-ecules that complete the coordination sphere for the neutral complex. The coordination around the Ru(II) atom can thus be considered as octa-hedral with slight trigonal distortion.
