Tricarbonylchloroglycinatoruthenium(II) is an organoruthenium complex with the formula RuCl(H₂NCH₂CO₂)(CO)₃. A yellow solid, it is an amino acid complex consisting of an octahedral complex with three carbonyls, chloride, and bidentate glycinate ligands. The CO ligands are arranged in a facial geometry. The complex is prepared by treating dichlororuthenium tricarbonyl dimer with sodium glycinate.^[1] The complex has attracted attention as a CO-releasing molecule ("CORM").^[2]^[3]
