The title compound, [Ru(C21H21N2O2S)Cl(C8H10)].CH4O or [Ru(TsDPEN)Cl(eta(6)-C6H5OCH2CH3)].CH4O [where TsDPEN is (1R,2R)-1,2-diphenyl-N-(p-toluenesulfonyl)ethylenediamine], contains an S-chiral Ru centre in a distorted octahedral environment, with similar bond lengths and angles to analogous complexes. The very short (N-)H...Cl distance of 2.61 Angstrom is ascribed to an intramolecular hydrogen bond.
