A ruthenium(II) complex with p‐cymene and (S)‐2‐(anilinomethyl)pyrrolidine

The title compound, [(S)‐2‐(anilino­methyl)­pyrrolidine‐N,N′]‐chloro(η⁶‐para‐cymene)­ruthenium(II) chloride, [RuCl‐(C₁₀H₁₄)(C₁₁H₁₆N₂)]Cl, has been synthesized by the reaction of [RuCl₂(p‐cymene)]₂ (p‐cymene is para‐iso­propyl­toluene) with (S)‐2‐(anilinomethyl)­pyrrolidine in triethyl­amine/2‐propanol. The Ru atom is in a pseudo‐tetrahedral environment coordinated by a chloride ligand, the aromatic hydro­carbon is linked in a η⁶ manner and the amine is linked via its two N atoms. The chloride anion is involved in hydrogen bonding with the di­amine moieties through N—H?Cl interactions, with N?Cl distances of 3.273 (4) and 3.352 (4) Å.
