Novel compound, (acvH)[trans-RuCl4(dmso-O)NO] (dmso-O is dimethylsulfoxide coordinated through oxygen atom), was isolated from the reaction between antiviral drug acyclovir (acv) and ruthenium precursor ((dmso)2H)[trans-RuCl4(dmso-O)NO]. Crystal structure revealed that compound is of ionic type, containing N(7) protonated acyclovir (acvH) which is not coordinated to the metal center. There is a distorted octahedral coordination around ruthenium(II) center in novel compound.
