title: Crystal structure of [3-amino-2-(phenyl-diazenyl)-pyridine]chlorido-(η(6)-p-cymene)-ruthenium(II) chloride.
abstract: The title compound, [RuCl(C10H14)(C11H10N4)]Cl is an Ru(II) complex in which an η (6) -p-cymene ligand, two N atoms of 3-amino-2-(phenyl-azo)pyridine and one Cl ion form a piano-stool coordination environment around the metal ion. In the crystal structure, N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds play an important role in the formation of the supramolecular zigzag chain along the a-axis direction. Disorder is observed for the isopropyl group with site-occupancy factors refined to 0.78 (5) and 0.22 (5).
