%X The reaction between RuCl3,nH2O and P(OMe)3 affords RuCl2[P(OMe)3]4; one batch of RuCl3,-nH2O also gave amminetrichlorobis(trimethyl phosphite)ruthenium(III), RuCl3(NH3)[P(OMe)3]2, as a minor product. The structure of this complex has been determined from a single-crystal X-ray diffraction study (4598 data, R 0.065, Rw 0.090): the ruthenium is approximately octahedrally coordinated by the three mer chloro, two trans P(OMe)3 and one NH3 ligands. Crystals are monoclinic,P21/n, a 8.725(3), b 18.286(7), c 10.936(4)&#506;, &#946; 94.57(3)&#176;, Z 4.
