Abstract: | The title compound, Ru(C6H6NO2)2(C15H11N3)(H2O)]·CH3CN·H2O, is a transfer hydrogenation catalyst supported by nitrogen‐donor ligands. This octahedral RuII complex features rare monodentate coordination of 3‐methoxy‐2‐pyridonate ligands and interligand S(6)S(6) hydrogen bonding. Comparison of the title complex with a structural analog with unsubstituted 2‐pyridonate ligands reveals subtle differences in the orientation of the ligand planes. |
