syn-Tetracarbonyldi--phenylthiolato-bis[(triphenylphosphine)ruthenium(I)]

K.-B. Shiu, F.-L. Liao and S.-L. Wang

Abstract: The title syn isomer of [Ru₂(-SPh)₂(PPh₃)₂(CO)₄] or [Ru₂(-C₆H₅S)₂(C₁₈H₁₅P)₂(CO)₄], which was previously expected to be present in solution, is now confirmed by the determination of its crystal structure. The compound contains two six-coordinated Ru^I atoms, joined by an Ru-Ru single bond with a length of 2.6809 (6) Å. A mirror plane passes through the mid-point of the Ru-Ru bond and the two bridging thiolate ligands.
