Abstract: The title compound, [Ru(C₁₅H₁₄N)₂(CO)₂], has been prepared by the reaction of Ru₃(CO)₁₂ with N-(4-methylbenzylidene)-1-phenylmethanamine in toluene under a nitrogen atmosphere. In the complex, the Ru atom is coordinated by two N atoms, two C atoms of two benzene rings, and two carbonyl ligands, forming an octahedral arrangement with Ru-C distances of 1.850 (3), 1.921 (3), 2.066 (2) and 2.110 (2) Å and Ru-N distances of 2.1583 (18) and 2.1763 (19) Å.
