(E)-1-(3-Bromo­phen­yl)-3-(3,4-dimeth­oxy­phen­yl)prop-2-en-1-one

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, C₁₇H₁₅BrO₃, consists of a bromo­phenyl and a 3,4-dimeth­oxy­phenyl group linked through a prop-2-en-1-one spacer. The C=C double bond displays an E conformation, while the carbonyl group shows an S-cis conformation relative to the double bond.

trans-Bis[1,2-bis­(diphenyl­phosphan­yl)ethane]­chlorido(ethyn­yl)ruthenium(II)

The mol­ecular structure of the title compound, trans-[Cu(C₂H)Cl(C₂₆H₂₄P₂)₂], consists of an Ru^II cation, located on an inversion centre, in an octa­hedral environment defined by two chelating phosphines, one acetyl­ide and one chloride ligand. The –C[triple bond]CH and the chlorine ligands are disordered over two equivalent positions (0.5 occupancy each). The coordination geometry is distorted octa­hedral, with the –C[triple bond]CH fragment and the Cl ligand in trans positions. The four P atoms occupy the equatorial plane of the octa­hedron and the chloride and acetyl­ide ligands the axial positions.
