[Bis-(2-pyrid-yl-κN)amine]chlorido(η-hexa-methyl-benzene)-ruthenium(II) hexa-fluorido-phosphate dichloro-methane solvate.

In the title half-sandwich complex, [RuCl(η(6)-C(12)H(18))(C(10)H(9)N(3))]PF(6)·CH(2)Cl(2), the ruthenium(II) ion is four-coordinated by a chloro, a hexa-methyl-benzene and a bidentate N,N'-chelating di(pyridin-2-yl)amine ligand. In the crystal, the amino N-H group forms a hydrogen bond with the chloro ligand of a neighbouring complex, thus forming chains along the b axis. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯F and C-H⋯ Cl contacts are also observed.
