(2-Amino-cyclo-hexanol-κ2 N,O)chlorido(η6-p-cy-mene)ru-thenium(II) tetra-fluoro-borate (2-amino-cyclo-hexanolato-κ2 N,O)chlorido(η6-p-cymene)ru-thenium(II).

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RuCl(C6H13NO)(C10H14)]BF4·[Ru Cl(C10H14)(C6H12NO], crystallizes with one neutral RuII species, one cationic RuII species and a BF4 - counter-ion. Both RuII centres adopt the expected piano-stool geometry, with the η6-p-cymene ligand forming the seat and the chlorido and bidentate amino alcohol-derived ligands occupying the remaining coordination sites. The steric influence of the cyclo-hexyl-based ligand framework is reflected in a slightly longer O⋯O contact [2.448 (4) Å] than that observed in the closely related 2-amino-ethano-late analogue [2.397 (7) Å; Tse et al. (2011 ▸). Chem. Eur, J. 17, 13918-13925.]. In the crystal, alternating N-H⋯F and O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions link the components into a supra-molecular chain extending along the c-axis direction.
