(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ2N,N′)chlorido(1,4,7-trithiacyclononane-κ3S,S′,S′′)ruthenium(II) nitrate monohydrate

In the title compound, [RuCl(C10H8N2)(C6H12S3)]NO3·H2O or [RuCl(bpy)([9]aneS3)]NO3·H2O, ([9]aneS3 is 1,4,7-trithiacyclononane and bpy is 2,2′-bipyridine), the RuII cation has a slightly distorted octahedral environment composed of three facially coordinated S atoms from ([9]aneS3), two N atoms from bpy and a chloride anion. The nitrate counter-ion and the water molecule of crystallization are engaged in O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions, leading to a supramolecular chain running parallel to the c axis
