The complex is an orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 17.3586(32) angstrom, b = 14.4447(27) angstrom, c = 27.4325(52) angstrom, and V = 6878.466(4) angstrom(3) with Z = 8 for D-calc = 1.357 g/cm(3). It exhibits the expected 3-legged piano stool geometry. There is one coordination bond of the ruthenium atom with the electrons of the eta(6)-hexamethylbenzene, 2 symmetrical Ru-Cl bonds, and one Ru-C bond involving the imidazole ring. The coordination around the ruthenium atom is 4-fold, which in this is case is pseudo-tetrahedral.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessarenescarbenesimidazoleruthenium complexX-ray structureArticle305535541WOS:000243366000001Q3
