title: [1,1'-Bis(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)cobalto-cenium]carbonyl-chloridohydrido(triphenyl-phosphane)ruthenium(II) hexa-fluoridophosphate dichloro-methane disolvate.
abstract: In the title compound, [CoRu(C(17)H(14)P)(2)ClH(C(18)H(15)P)(CO)]PF(6)·2CH(2)Cl(2), the Ru(II) atom is coordinated by three P atoms from a chelating 1,1'-bis-(diphenyl-phosphan-yl)cobaltocenium ligand and a triphenyl-phosphine ligand, one CO ligand, one Cl atom and one H atom in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the cobaltocenium unit, the two cyclo-penta-dienyl rings are almost parallel, making a dihedral angle of 1.2 (3)°. The F atoms of the hexa-fluoridophosphate anion are disordered over two sets of sites, with an occupancy ratio of 0.849 (11):0.151 (11). Intra-molecular C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds occur in the complex cation. The complex cations, hexa-fluoridophosphate anions and dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecules are linked by inter-molecular C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds.
