The Ru atom exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination with the benzene ring of the p-cymene ligand formally occupying three sites and three chloride atoms occupying the other three sites. The N-C bond lengths of the N-C-N unit of the pyrimidinium cation are shorter than the average single C-N bond length of 1.48 angstrom, thus showing double-bond character, indicating a partial electron delocalization within the N-C-N fragment. The pyrimidine ring has an envelope conformation. Four intermolecular C-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen bonds generate a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessN-Heterocyclic CarbenesCrystal-StructureCoupling ReactionsComplexesArylationCatalysisChloridesSaltsArticle65M111U11372158147710.1107/S16005368080427732-s2.0-58149459296N/AWOS:000262234500089Q4
