The complex cis-[Ru(bpy){sub 2}(PPh{sub 2}(o-tol))Cl][ClO{sub 4}]{center_dot}1.5 (CH{sub 2}Cl){sub 2} crystallizes from dichloromethane as the sesqui-dischloromethane solvate. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1}/n with Z=4. The structure was refined to R-5.50% for those 2552 independent reflections with F{sub o}>6{sigma}(F{sub o}). The octahedral Ru(II) cation is associated with the following bond lengths: Ru-PPh{sub 2}(o-tol)=2.360(3){angstrom}, Ru-Cl=2.433(2){angstrom} and Ru-N(bpy)=2.041(8)-2.095(8){angstrom}. Both the perchlorate anion and the dichloromethane molecules of solvation exhibit large amplitudes of vibration. One dichloromethane molecule lies in general position, the other lies about an inversion center and suffers from disorder.
