Abstract
In the title complex, [RuCl2(C12H9BrN2)2] or [RuCl2(PM-BrA)2] (PM-BrA = 4-bromo-N-(2′-pyridylmethylene)aniline), the RuII cation is located on a centre of inversion and is surrounded by four N atoms of two PM-BrA ligands in the equatorial plane and by two Cl atoms in a trans axial arrangement, displaying a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Two C atoms in the benzene ring of the PM-BrA ligand are equally disordered over two sets of sites. The benzene and pyridine rings of the PM-BrA ligand are oriented at dihedral angles of 62.1 (10) and 73.7 (11)° under consideration of the two orientations of the disordered benzene ring. In the crystal, the complex molecules are connected via C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions into a layered arrangement parallel (100). C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonding and weak aromatic π–π stacking interactions complete a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
Chemical context
Bidentate Schiff bases are one of the most widely used ligands in coordination chemistry. Their complexes have found utility in a wide range of applications (Rezaeivala & Keypour, 2014 ▸; Gupta & Sutar, 2008 ▸). In particular, ruthenium(II) complexes of Schiff bases have been shown to display a variety of structural features and exhibit interesting biological and catalytic reactivities (Li et al., 2015 ▸; Wang et al., 2015 ▸; Drozdzak et al., 2005 ▸). Herein, we report the synthesis and crystal structure of a ruthenium(II) complex with the bidentate Schiff base ligand of 4-bromo-N-(2′-pyridylmethylene)aniline (PM-BrA), [RuCl2(C12H9BrN2)2], (I).
Structural commentary
The asymmetric unit of compound (I) contains one half of the complex molecule with the RuII cation lying on an inversion centre (Fig. 1 ▸). The coordination environment around RuII is a distorted [Cl2N4] octahedron, whereby the metal is chelated by two PM-BrA ligands in the equatorial plane and by two Cl atoms in a trans axial arrangement. The ligand exhibits an N1⋯N2 bite distance of 2.585 (7) Å with an N1—Ru1—N2 bite angle of 76.9 (1)°. The reduced bite angle of the chelating ligand is one of the main factors accounting for the distortion from the ideal octahedral geometry of the coordination polyhedron, with the the largest cis angle being 103.1 (2)°. The Ru—N bond lengths are 2.073 (5) and 2.084 (5) Å, and the Ru—Cl bond length is 2.3908 (14) Å, in agreement with those observed in the structures of similar compounds (Roy et al., 2012 ▸). Two C atoms in the benzene ring of the PM-BrA ligand are equally disordered over two sets of sites. The dihedral angle between the least-square planes of the benzene and pyridine rings in the PM-BrA ligand are 62.1 (10) and 73.7 (11)° under consideration of the two orientations of the disordered benzene ring.

Supramolecular features
In the crystal, weak intermolecular C—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions between the C atoms of the benzene ring and the Cl atoms connect the complex molecules into a supramolecular layered arrangement parallel to (100) (Fig. 2 ▸). As shown in Fig. 3 ▸, a C—H⋯Br hydrogen bond between the phenyl C atoms and the Br atoms, along with weak aromatic π–π stacking interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 4.107 (4) Å, dihedral angle = 0.7 (3)°] complete a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Numerical values of C—H⋯X (X = Cl, Br) interactions are compiled in Table 1 ▸.

Database survey
The structure of trans-[RuCl2(Hpyrimol)2] (Hpyrimol = 4-methyl-2-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)aminophenol) with a closely related Schiff base N2 donor set for each ligand has been reported (Roy et al., 2012 ▸). The bond lengths and bond angles in this complex are in agreement with those in the structure of (I). A search of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.36, last update February 2015; Groom & Allen, 2014 ▸) gave 12 hits for complexes involving transition metals and the ligand PM-BrA (KISZIX, KISZOD, KISZUJ, Davies et al., 2014 ▸; XEDCUG, Khalaji et al., 2012 ▸; UNIZOH, Harding et al., 2011 ▸; SUYDAS, Harding et al., 2010 ▸; FOWBOJ, Khalaj et al., 2009 ▸; FOWBID, Mahmoudi et al., 2009 ▸; MOYDUA, Dehghanpour et al., 2009 ▸; TULKIV, Gao et al., 2009 ▸; YOCZAS, Khalaj et al., 2008 ▸; YOCZEW, Mahmoudi et al., 2008 ▸).
Synthesis and crystallization
A solution of the ligand 4-bromo-N-(2′-pyridylmethylene)aniline (104.4 mg, 0.4 mmol) in dry methanol (5 ml) was placed in a test tube. A solution of RuCl3 (41.5 mg, 0.2 mmol) in dry methanol (5 ml) was then carefully layered on the top of a methanolic solution. After slow diffusion at room temperature for three days, pale-green plate- or block-like crystals of complex (I) were obtained.
Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure refinement details are summarized in Table 2 ▸. Hydrogen atoms were positioned with idealized geometry and refined with U iso(H) = 1.2U eq(C) using a riding model with C—H = 0.95 Å. C atoms C11 and C12 and attached H atoms in the benzene ring are disordered over two set of sites and were refined using a split model with equal occupancy.

Special details
| Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
