The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [RuCl2(C6H6)(C18H27P)]·1.5C6H6, contains one molecule of the RuII complex and one and a half solvent molecules as one of these is located about a centre of inversion. The RuII atom has a classical three-legged piano-stool environment being coordinated by an η6-benzene ligand [Ru—centroid = 1.6964 (6) Å], two chloride ligands with an average Ru—Cl bond length of 2.4138 (3) Å and a dicyclohexylphenylphosphane ligand [Ru—P = 2.3786 (3) Å]. The effective cone angle for the phosphane was calculated to be 158°. In the crystal, weak C—H
Cl hydrogen bonds link the RuII complexes into centrosymmetric dimers. The crystal packing exhibits intra- and intermolecular C—Hπ interactions resulting in a zigzag pattern in the [101] direction.

The title compound, [PdCl2(C21H12F9P)2]·CH2Cl2, crystallizes with two independent complex molecules (each having the PdII atom situated on an inversion centre) and a dichloromethane molecule in the asymmetric unit. The independent PdII atoms are in perfectly linear orientations of the ligands in mutually trans positions, but distortions of the Cl—Pd—P angles ranging from 86.151 (19) to 93.849 (19)° are evident. The effective cone angles for the tris[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]phosphane ligand were calculated to be 159 and 161°. In the crystal, weak C—HCl/F interactions create a three-dimensional supramolecular network. Loose packing at two of the –CF3 groups resulted in large thermal vibrations which were treated as two-component disorders [occupancy ratios 0.50:0.50 and 0.628 (15):0.372 (15)].

In the title complex, trans-[PtCl2{P(C6H11)2(4-Me2NC6H4)}2]·2CH2Cl2, the PtII atom is located on an inversion centre, resulting in a trans-square-planar geometry. Important geometric parameters are the Pt—P and Pt—Cl bond lengths of 2.3258 (6) and 2.3106 (6) Å, respectively, and the P—Pt—Cl angles of 89.64 (2) and 90.36 (2)°. The effective cone angle for the dicyclohexyl[4-(dimethylamino)phenyl]phosphane unit was calculated to be 164°. The compound crystallizes with two dichloromethane solvent molecules; one of which is severely disordered and was treated using the SQUEEZE routine in PLATON [Spek (2009). Acta Cryst. D65, 148–155].

In the dimeric title compound, [Pd2Cl4{P(C8H9)3}2]·CH2Cl2, the metal complex molecule is situated about an inversion centre and is accompanied by a dichloromethane solvent molecule situated on a twofold rotation axis. The PdII atom has a slightly distorted square-planar coordination sphere. The effective cone angle for the tris(3,5-dimethylphenyl)phosphane ligand was calculated to be 169°. In the crystal, the metal complex and solvent molecules are linked via C—HCl interactions, generating chains along [10-2]. There are also C—Hπ and weak π–π interactions present [centroid–centroid distance = 3.990 (2) Å, plane–plane distance = 3.6352 (15) Å and ring slippage = 1.644 Å], forming of a three-dimensional structure.

The title compound, [Pd2{P(C10H7)2(C10H6)}2Cl2]·2CH2Cl2, shows cyclometalation of one naphthalen-1-yl substituent of each of the phosphane ligands to the Pd dimer in a trans orientation; the complete dimer is generated by a centre of inversion. Two dichloromethane solvent molecules create C—HCl interactions with the metal complex, generating supermolecular layers in the ab plane. Additional C—Hπ and π–π [centroid–centroid distances = 3.713 (3), 3.850 (4) and 3.926 (3) Å] interactions join these planes into a three-dimensional supermolecular network.
