The reaction of [Ru(tpy)(PPh3)2Cl][PF6] (tpy, 2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) with NaN3/NaClO4 in acetone/water produced the ruthenium(II) complex [Ru(tpy)(PPh3)2(N3)][ClO4] (1), which contains a coordinated azide unit with Ru-N = 2.132(5) A. The new Ru azide complex 1 was identified and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, Raman and multinuclear NMR (1H, 14N, 31P) data. Crystals were grown from an acetonitrile/diethyl ether solution and the crystal structure was determined by a low-temperature single crystal X-ray diffraction study. Crystallographic data for 1: triclinic, P1, a = 10.9905(5), b = 13.4741(6), c = 17.8532(9) A, α = 90.6760(10), β= 96.4000(10), γ = 105.5270(10)°, V = 2529.07(21) A3, ρ = 1.422 g cm-3, Z = 2. The experimentally obtained structural parameters for compound 1 compare reasonably well with those calculated at the semi-empirical ZINDO/1 level of theory.
