(Glycol-κ(2) O,O′)nitros­yl(η(5)-penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dien­yl)ruthenium(II) bis­(tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate)

The title compound, [Ru(C(10)H(15))(NO)(HOCH(2)CH(2)OH)](CF(3)SO(3))(2), possesses a three-legged piano-stool geometry around the Ru atom, with an average Ru—O distance of 2.120 (6) Å and an Ru—N—O angle of 159.45 (14)°. The ethyl­eneglycol ligand forms a non-planar metallacyclic ring by chelating the Ru atom via the O atoms. The O⋯O distances of 2.554 (2) and 2.568 (2) Å are indicative of hydrogen bonding between coordinated ethyl­eneglycol and outer-sphere trifluoro­methane­sulfonate fragments. The crystal packing is stabilized by ionic forces and several CH(3)⋯·F (2.585 and 2.640 Å) and CH(3)⋯O inter­actions (2.391, 2.678, 2.694 and 2.699 Å) between the penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand and trifluoro­methane­sulfonate anion. There is noticeable short inter­molecular contact [2.9039 (16) Å], between an O atom of the SO(3) group and a C atom of the penta­methyl­cyclo­penta­dienyl ligand.
