Crystal structure of {3-[3,5-bis(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-1,2-phenylene]-1-(2,6,2′′,6′′-tetramethyl-1,1′:3′,1′′-terphenyl-5′-yl)imidazol-2-ylidene}chlorido(η6-p-cymene)ruthenium(II) benzene disolvate

The title compound, [Ru(C47H43N2)Cl(C10H14)]·2C6H6, crystallized with two independent molecules of benzene. One of the N-aryl moieties of the N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) ligand underwent cyclometallation to form a five-membered ruthenacycle. The complex has a three-legged piano-stool structure with...
