Abstract: The title complex, [Ru(C 7 H 4 N 2 ) 2 (C 10 H 14 )(C 3 H 9 P)] or ( p -cym)Ru(C 2 -2py) 2 (PMe 3 ), where p -cym = η 6 -1-isopropyl-4-methylbenzene and C 2 -2py = η 1 - C -pyridin-2-ylethynide, comprises a pseudo-octahedral Ru II atom with p -cym occupying one face of the octahedron and the other face comprised of monodentate PMe 3 and two η 1 -C 2 -2py ligands. The Ru—C ethynide bond lengths are 2.0248 (16) and 2.0343 (17) Å. The N—C—C—N torsion angle of 151.1 (2)° suggests a near anti-conformation for the two pyridine rings. In the crystal, hydrogen bonding involving one C—H donor and one nitrogen acceptor from each pyridine ring generates dimers propagating along the a -axis direction via supporting C—H...π interactions.
