In the title compound, [Ru(C(28)H(22)N(2)P)Cl(CO)(2)]·CH(2)Cl(2), the Ru(II) atom exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. The N-phenyl group of the ligand has undergone orthometalation; as a result, the tridentate phosphane-functionalized N-heterocyclic carbene ligand is coordinating in a meridional fashion. This complex is of inter-est with respect to transfer hydrogenation catalysis and also provides an example of C-H activation behavior in late transition metal complexes. The dichloro-methane solvent mol-ecule is disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.873 (14):0.127 (14).
在标题化合物[Ru(C₂₈H₂₂N₂P)Cl(CO)₂]·CH₂Cl₂中，Ru(II)原子呈现出扭曲的八面体配位几何构型。配体的N-苯基发生了邻位金属化；因此，三齿膦功能化的N-杂环卡宾配体以经式方式配位。该配合物在转移氢化催化方面具有重要意义，同时也为后过渡金属配合物中的C-H活化行为提供了一个实例。二氯甲烷溶剂分子在两组位置上无序分布，占有率为0.873 (14):0.127 (14)。
