The synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of RuCl 2[(Ph) 2PC 2H 4P(Ph)C 2H 4P(Ph)C 2H 4P(Ph) 2] are reported. The crystals are monoclinic, space group P2 1/ c with cell dimensions a = 10.389(2) Å, b = 27.815(5) Å, c = 14.377(3) Å, β = 109.17(1)°. The structure was solved by the direct method; least-squares refinement converged to a final conventional R = 5.51% for 3692 independent observed reflections collected by counter methods. The structure consists of discrete monomeric molecules. The central metal atom is octahedrally coordinated with the four phosphorus atoms of the ligand in the equatorial plane and with the two chlorine atoms in the axial positions. The Ph 2PRu and PhPRu pairs have an average distance of 2.392 Å and 2.295 Å, respectively.
