1,3-Bis(2-thienylmeth­yl)-4,5-dihydro­imidazolium trichlorido(η(6)-p-cymene)ruthenate(II)

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (C(13)H(15)N(2)S(2))[RuCl(3)(C(10)H(14))], contains a 1,3-(2-thienylmeth­yl)-4,5-dihydro­imidazolium cation and a trichlorido(η (6)-p-cymene)ruthenate(II) anion. The thio­phene rings of the cation are disordered by an 180° rotation about the thio­phene–CH(2) bonds with occupancies of 0.847 (5)/0.153 (5) and 0.700 (5)/0.300 (5), respectively. The Ru atom exhibits a distorted octa­hedral coordination with the benzene ring of the p-cymene ligand formally occupying three sites and three Cl atoms occupying the other three sites. The short C—N bond lengths in the imidazoline ring indicate partial electron delocalization within the N—C—N fragment. Cation and anions are connected through five inter­molecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds and one C—H⋯π hydrogen bond, forming a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network.
