| Abstract: | The title solvated complex, in which phen denotes 1,10‐phenanthroline, crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/n with a = 13.313 (3), b = 15.980 (3), c = 18.392 (4) Å, α = 96.76 (3)°, Z = 4, V = 3885.4 (14) Å3, Dcal = 1.564 Mg m‐3. The crystal is composed of racemic layers of complex cations, with the ether solvents located near, and the perchlorate anions sandwiched between, indicating the hydrophobic environment in the complex layer and the stacking interaction between the enantiomeric cations. The average length of the Ru‐N bonds is 2.064 (2) Å and the average ligand bite angle is 80.00 (7)°. |
