Dichloridobis[(1S,1S′,2R,2R′)-(+)-1,1′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-diphospho­lane-κ(2) P,P′]ruthenium(II)

In the title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(16)H(32)P(2))(2)], the Ru(II) ion is situated on a twofold rotation axis, so the asymmetric unit contains one half-mol­ecule. The slightly distorted octa­hedral environment of the Ru center is formed by four P atoms [Ru—P = 2.4417 (6) and 2.4544 (6) Å] from two different (1S,1S′,2R,2R′)-TangPhos ligands [(1S,1S′,2R,2R′)-TangPhos = (1S,1S′,2R,2R′)-(+)-1,1′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-diphospho­lane] and two Cl atoms [Ru—Cl = 2.4267 (5) Å].
