The complex cis ‐[RuCl(DMSO)(phen) 2 ]BPh 4 , where DMSO is dimethylsulfoxide and phen is 1, 10‐phenanthroline, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2 1 / c with a = 19.505(4), b = 10.045(2), c = 21.199(4) Å, β = 90.137(4)°, V = 4153(2) Å 3 , Z = 4, D calc = 1.430 g cm —3 . The ruthenium coordination geometry is that of a slightly distorted octahedron with a cis ‐RuN 4 ClS arrangement of the ligand donor atoms. The Ru—Cl distance is 2.421(1) Å and the Ru—S distance 2.250(2) Å. The four Ru—N distances are 2.057(6), 2.066(4), 2.073(4), and 2.086(4) Å with the Ru—N bond trans to Cl the second shortest and the Ru—N bond trans to S the longest one.
