The title compound, [RuCl(2)(C(10)H(14))(C(6)H(6)FN)], a pseudo-octa-hedral d(6) complex, has the expected piano-stool geometry around the Ru(II) atom. The fluoro-aniline ring forms a dihedral angle of 19.3 (2)° with the p-cymene ring. In the crystal, two mol-ecules form an inversion dimer via a pair of N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯Cl inter-actions involving the p-cymene ring consolidate the crystal packing.
