Chlorido(η(6)-N (2)-diphenylphosphanyl-N (1),N (1)-diisopropyl-4-methoxybenz­amidine-κP)(triphenylphosphane-κP)ruthenium(II) trifluoromethansulfonate acetone disolvate

In the title compound, [RuCl(C(18)H(15)P)(C(26)H(31)N(2)OP)](CF(3)O(3)S)·2C(3)H(6)O, the Ru(II) ion is coordinated in a three-legged piano stool, half-sandwich-type geometry by a chlorido ligand, a tri­phenyl­phosphine and a tethered η(6)-(phenyl-p-O-meth­oxy) κ(1)-P N-di­phenyl­phosphino N′-diisopropyl amidine ligand charge-balanced by a trifluormethansulfonate counter-anion. The η(6)-coordination mode of the arene incorporated into the structure was generated in situ after addition of methyl tri­fluoro­methane­sulfonate to the neutral η(5)-arene tethered precursor complex [RuCl(PPh(3))(η(5):κ(1)-OC(6)H(4)C(NiPr(2))=N-PPh(2))] in di­chloro­methane solution.
