The title salt, [Ru(Tp)(CH5N)2(PPh3)]Cl·CH2Cl2·H2O [where Tp is (C3H3N2)3BH and PPH3 is C18H15P], has the RuIII atom in an octahedral geometry; one of the Ru—N(Tp) bonds [2.135 (8) Å] is slightly longer than another two, owing to the trans influence of PPh3 ligand. N—HCl and O—HCl hydrogen bonding leads to the formation of layers parallel to (100).

In the title compound, [Ru(CO)(NH3)(C9H10BN6)(C18H15P)]Cl·2CH2Cl2, the coordination environment around the RuII atom is distorted octahedral. One of the Ru—N(Tp) [Tp = hydridotris(pyrazol-1-yl)borate] bond lengths is slightly longer than the other two as a result of the influence of the trans CO ligand. In the crystal, N—HCl hydrogen bonds link the complex cations and Cl− anions. π–π interactions between the pyrazole rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.764 (3) Å] are also present.
