The tris(2-cyanoethyl)phosphine (tcep) complex [RuCl2{P(CH2CH2CN)3}(η 6 -p-cymene)] (p-cymene = p-CH3C6H4 iPr) was synthesised by the bridge-splitting reaction of the chlorido-dimer[RuCl2(η 6 -p-cymene)]2 with tcep. The complex was characterised by a single-crystal X-ray structure determination as...
