Synthesis and characterization of [RuCl2(picoline)4] complexes: Crystal structure of [RuCl2(β-pic)4]

The reaction of the [RuCl2(PPh3)3] complex with picolines has been examined. New ruthenium(II) complexes - [RuCl2(C6H7N)4] have been obtained. The crystal structure of the [RuCl2(β-pic)4] complex has been determined. The electronic spectra of the complexes have been calculated by the TDDFT method.
