Abstract: The title compound, [RuCl 2 (C 18 H 26 BrP) 2 ]·1.6CH 3 OH, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P 2 /n with two and a half molecules plus four molecules of methanol solvent in the asymmetric unit ( Z ′ = 5/2, Z = 10). Distortion of the octahedral coordination environment results in the slight variation of bond lengths and bond angles from ideal values. The crystal packing is reinforced by classical hydrogen bonding, O—H... X (where X = O or Cl) and non-classical hydrogen bonding interactions such as C—H...Cl.
